Read the full game description
Questline is a real-time storytelling card game in which players draft characters, locations, events, and loot, then weave them into compact fantasy adventures. The shared market keeps choices public and competitive, while the timer forces quick decisions and creative connections. When drafting ends, each player tells the tale their cards created and the table celebrates the strongest, funniest, or most surprising quest.
