New Pathfinder Quest board game encourages metagaming by letting you go back in time

Paizo, the publisher of the Pathfinder roleplaying game, has announced a new cooperative board game called Pathfinder Quest. The game is designed to strike a balance between the classic fantasy adventure of HeroQuest and the deep, strategic gameplay of Gloomhaven. One of the game's key features is the ability to "metagame" - players can use information gained in previous game sessions to make more informed decisions in future ones. This is achieved through the use of a time travel mechanic, which allows players to revisit past scenarios and make different choices. The game is set in the Pathfinder universe and features a party of adventurers exploring a variety of locations and facing off against a range of fantasy creatures. The gameplay is focused on tactical combat, with players using a variety of skills and abilities to overcome their enemies. Pathfinder Quest is aimed at both casual and experienced board game players, offering a mix of accessibility and depth that should appeal to a wide audience. The game is scheduled for release later this year.
