Welcome to Venture, a fast-paced card game for 2 - 4 Players! For over a decade, audiences have enjoyed the unique characters found at the New Jersey Renaissance Kingdom. These characters inhabit an imaginary world known as the Kingdom of Somerset, a land of magic and wonder, of fierce battles and even fiercer politics, and of deep devotion to the performing arts. Some of Somerset's inhabitants are fantastic, others ridiculous, and still others deadly serious. Some are peasants, others royalty, and some defy such distinctions altogether.

Object of the Game: There are many different Events that can occur in the Kingdom of Somerset. Your goal is to build Factions of Characters (drawn from a deck of Character Cards) at the game's three main Locations in order to complete those Events (symbolized by a deck of Event Cards). A Player who completes an Event Card places it in his Victory Display. When all the Event Cards have been played, the Players total their respective Victory Points. The Player with the most Victory Points wins the game!
