Your Roll Player characters have been called to adventure! In Monsters & Minions, you went to war against Dragul invaders. In Fiends & Familiars, you befriended wild beasts and dispelled cruel spirits. Now your fully formed, battle-hardened heroes must defend the kingdom of Nalos and uncover a mystery that lies at the heart of the Abandoned Lands.

Navigate your missions with care. It's up to you who to befriend and who to battle. Will you slay the giant troll or attempt to make peace? Will you do the vampire's bidding or defend the mysterious cultists he wants to destroy? Will you remain loyal to king and country — or side with the enemies of Nalos? Whatever choices you make, someone will remember and respond.

Roll Player Adventures is a co-operative storybook board game for 1-4 players set in the world of Roll Player. Players inhabit characters, face challenges, and make decisions that will change the story as they progress through eleven core adventures and a replayable side quest.

Adventures does not require the Roll Player base game or any of its expansions to play. Pick from one of six pre-generated characters, or import a favorite Roll Player character and take them on a heroic journey. If you do import a character you've built in Roll Player, any number of expansions and any number of promo cards/boards that were used may continue to be used in Roll Player Adventures.

BILLOWING SMOKE FROM THE NORTH - As battles wage through Skulk Hollow, a thick, dark, haze appears around Maul Peak. The smell of war wafts down through the valley as clouds of wrath engulf towns and villages. As fate spreads the smoke far and wide, destruction follows. A foxen scout, their fastest, is hastily dispatched to learn more...

Maul Peak is a two-player, asymmetric, tactical combat game in which players take the roles of either a tribe of bears or a towering behemoth of a Guardian.

Maul Peak is a standalone sequel to the original game Skulk Hollow, and all Guardians / Heroes can be pitted against each other. All new guardians work with the original Foxen Heroes & Map, Bears vs old Guardians, Bears vs new Guardians — you name it!

Combining the two games also allows up to 4 players to pit 2 guardians vs both bear and foxen heroes for Epic Battles.

One vs Many Asymmetric Combat creates a fresh, fun, 2-player experience.
Action takes place on the Board AND the Guardian. Not only does the battle occur on the Kingdom board, but the bear must traverse full size, Guardian gameboards. Each guardian has unique routes and abilities to stop the bears.
Dual Purpose Cards give players a wide range of movement and ability powers while keeping them quick to pick and easy to play.
Unique Bear Leaders and Guardians creates a range of tactics and dynamics, adding depth and strategy that makes each game a new challenge.

YOUR GARDEN AWAITS
Spend the afternoon in your Floriferous garden. Relax while enjoying this elegant game of strolling through your garden and collecting flowers. Find joy in the abundance of nature.

OBJECTIVE
Find the most joy by collecting flowers and pairing them with abundance, desire, and mastery cards.

GAMEPLAY
Floriferous is played over 3 days, which are divided into 5 turns (or 4 turns for 5 players). Each turn, a player moves one step through the garden. After each move, the player picks up a flower or desire card. After 3 days, players sum their scores for their desires, mastery, and points earned during the game. The player with the most points wins.

FLOWER CARDS & BUGS
There are 5 Types of Flowers in Floriferous: Tulip, Poppy, Lily, Daisy, and Mum each of which comes in 5 Colors: Yellow, White, Pink, Orange, Purple. Many flower cards also have a bug on them: Butterfly, Ladybug, Bee, Moth, and Beetle. These 3 card aspects (flower type, color, and specific bug) are used for scoring Desire, Abundance, and Mastery cards.

DESIRE CARDS
Desire cards appear within the garden and are worth points at the end of the game based on the players collection of Flower Cards. They award points based on the specific requirements on the card.

ABUNDANCE CARDS
Abundance cards appear at the bottom of the garden and are worth points at the end of the game based on the players collection of Flower Cards. The more matching aspects of the arrangement you have, the more they are worth.

SCULPTURE CARDS
Sculpture cards appear within the garden and are worth points at the end of the game depending on who has collected the most sculptures.

FACE DOWN CARDS
These cards are picked up like any other in the garden, the player simply doesn’t know what they are until chosen.

STONES
Stones are within the garden and are collected when the card they are sitting on is taken. Every 2 stones is worth one point at the end of the game (rounding down) and they may help you earn a cup of tea.

THE CUP OF TEA
The cup of tea is awarded at the end to the player who has collected the most stones.

MASTERY CARDS
Mastery cards appear at the top of the garden. These cards are not collected but are scored at the end of each day based on the players collection of Flower Cards. Players compete to score mastery cards first.

Nefras, the snake-faced goddess of judgment, rules over the realms of Dream and Memory. She observes all souls in the planarverse to discover their true nature and reward them accordingly. But Nefras is not the goddess of Justice. She does not bring order to the lawless or punishment to the wicked. Instead, the scale-faced one merely assesses the hearts of all heroes and empowers them with appropriate gifts. When Nefras’s observation is complete, she bestows each hero with her final judgment.

This expansion for Roll Player Adventures adds over 40 unique storylines woven through the game's campaign. Each explores a unique backstory from the Roll Player universe. Your decisions will change your alignment and steer the fate of the land of Nalos.

If you are importing a character from Roll Player to your Roll Player Adventures campaign, this expansion will add in new elements related to your backstory and alignment. Nefras's Judgement can also be used with any of the pregenerated characters included in Roll Player Adventures, each of which will have a unique backstory.

Description from the publisher:

THE BEAUTIFUL WILDERNESS
Sometimes you need to get off the beaten path to find a beautiful landscape to paint. Wake up early, hike deep into nature, and find your perfect spot. Some paintings sell for commissions, others you’ll keep for yourself, but you’re always going that extra mile to find inspiration.

OBJECTIVE
Over six days, players gain Renown by hiking to beautiful locations to paint landscapes, which they’ll later sell. Each day, players choose a Planning Card, which allows them to travel through the Wilderness and paint (i.e., pick up Landscape Cards). At day’s end, they can sell paintings to earn Renown (i.e., turn in Landscape Cards to gain Commission cards worth Renown). Players also earn Renown by completing Daily Goals and by possessing Landscape Paintings at game’s end.

GENERAL PLAY
Each day starts with a simultaneous Planning Phase, followed by individual Trek Phases, and ends with a Clean Up Phase. After the sixth day, a final Scoring Phase occurs.

Planning Phase: Players draw three Planning Cards and select one for the day. This sets the time they'll leave (initiative) how far they can move, and how many paintings they can paint.

Trek Phase: Based on when players started their hike, each player completes their Trek Phase. During their Trek phase they'll move through the Wilderness, paint landscapes, and sell as commissions for Renown. There is also a end of turn check for the Daily Goal.

Clean Up Phase: Once all players have taken their Trek Phase, the Wilderness, Commission Cards, and Daily Goal are update and then next day begins.

Fiends distract the players and provide new obstacles along the path of creation.

A brand new set of Monsters give the players variety to the end of the game, while new Minions are added to the Minion deck that provide new and different goals for the players to reach.

New classes and Market cards provide even more variety to each game of Roll Player.

Again, players earn Reputation Stars by constructing the perfect character, but can explore new strategies and options as they ready their familiar while they sidestep the pesky fiends along the way.

Requires Roll Player and Roll Player: Monsters & Minions to play.

THE GREAT RETURN
Over generations and generations the ancient woodland of Børe prospered and grew. The world was bestowed with great spirit, which lifted the animals of the land to new heights. Unfortunately, over the years these clans lost touch with the spirit of the land and faction warring developed. The Foxen Kingdom of Skulk Hollow in the South, The spiritual Red Pandas of Cupboard in the North, the Mischievous Mice of Multon in the West, and the colony of Blackheart Bunnies in the East. As skirmishes started breaking out across the continent, lives lost, there was a monstrous shake and then The Great Return. No one quite knows why, but the Guardians have risen - but not the kind, life-giving Guardians of spiritual legend. Dark, ferocious, versions that are now attacking all the kingdoms of the land.

OBJECTIVE
In Skulk Hollow, two players take the roles of either a towering behemoth of a Guardian trying to eliminate the clans of foxes who have been causing havoc on the countryside, or a band of foxen heroes out to vanquish the evil beast that has been terrorizing the land and reunite the four kingdoms of Børe.

The Guardian wins the game by either eliminating the Foxen King, or by gaining enough Tribute.

The Foxen Heroes wins the game by eliminating the Guardian.

GAMEPLAY
Skulk Hollow is a 2-player, asymetric, tactical combat game. Player use action cards to move their units, summon, and use special abilities. Taking down a guardian requires the Foxen player to leap onto the Guardian player board and take out different parts of the character.

In Herbaceous, herb collectors compete to grow and store the most valuable medley of herbs. Everyone starts with four containers, each of which allows a different grouping action:

Group herbs of same type
Group different types
Group pairs
Group any three types (same or different)

On your turn, you draw an herb, then decide to either keep it in your personal collection or put in into the communal pile. If kept, the next card goes to the communal pile; if placed in the communal pile, the next card goes in your personal collection.

At the start of your turn, you can decide to use a container. If so, you assemble cards from personal and communal spaces, group them, then turn them all over. You have then "collected" those and can't use the container again.

At the end of the game, collectors determine the best collection as a combination of value from their collection, matching herbs, and herb sets.

Overview of Gameplay
A game round is divided into 4 phases. The Roll Phase, the Dice Phase, the Market Phase and the Cleanup Phase.

ROLL PHASE - The Start Player draws dice out of a bag, rolls them, and places them in numerical order on Initiative cards in the center of the table.
DICE PHASE - Players take turns selecting an Initiative card, placing their die on their Character Sheet and taking Attribute Actions associated with the Attribute the die was placed in.
MARKET PHASE - Players purchase cards from the market that represent Traits, Skills, Weapons, and Armor.
CLEAN UP PHASE - Return unselected dice to the bag. Return Initiative cards to the center of the table. Refresh 1 Skill card. Pass the Dice Bag to the player on the left.

The game ends at the completion of the round in which all players have filled all Attribute Rows on their Character Sheets.
Players then calculate their Final Scores to determine the winner!

“Just as water retains no constant shape, in warfare there are no constant conditions.” –Sun Tzu

Weapons clash, water splashes and the booming battle cries of armored bullfrogs ring out across the moonlit swamp. Amphibian armies leap from lily pad to lily pad in their desperate struggle to win control of the pond.

Suddenly, a shout of triumph rises up. Enough warriors have finally entered battle on a lily pad to dominate the fight and assure victory for their side. Overloaded, the lily pad sinks into the swamp.

Frogs scatter from the sinking lily pad to the surrounding ones, coming to aid their allies or sabotage their foes, their weight causing the lily pads to drift away across the cold, glittering water. The winning commander must understand the ripple effects of every move, and avoid acting to win a single battle at the cost of losing the war.

In Bullfrogs, 2-4 players ages 8+ take control of warring factions of frogs and fight over lily pads in a pond over the course of 20-40 minutes.

A player's turn consists of the following steps.

1. PLAY a Lily Pad Card from a hand of 3 cards to the table.

2. TAKE ACTIONS to Deploy Frogs or Bullfrogs to Lily Pad Cards or Sabotage another player's Frogs by pushing or pulling them to adjacent cards.

3. SCORE Lily Pad Cards that have all their spaces filled by Frogs and Bullfrogs. Calculate the strength of each faction to determine the winner. The strongest faction on the Lily Pad Card scores it and it sinks to the bottom of the pond. The weaker factions scatter to adjacent Lily Pad Cards and any disconnected Lily Pad Cards on the table shift to reshape the game board.

4. DRAW a Lily Pad Card.
