Paizo Reveals Pathfinder Quest Cooperative Board Game Campaign

Paizo announced Pathfinder Quest on November 11, 2025, launching a BackerKit campaign for a cooperative board game designed to capture the experience of a Pathfinder role playing campaign without the need for a game master. The boxed product is billed as a one to four player campaign experience that links a dozen adventures across the setting of Falcon's Hollow, and it emphasizes branching story decisions that change future scenarios as the campaign progresses.

Core pledge tiers for the BackerKit campaign include a Standard Edition, a Deluxe Edition, and a Deluxe plus Extras option, giving backers a range of entry points depending on how much supplemental material they want. Paizo described the game's structural elements as a twelve adventure campaign contained in an Adventure Book and complemented by a Challenge Book, with component highlights that include map tiles, a variety of cards, tokens, and custom dice. These physical offerings underscore Paizo's focus on tactile gameplay for tabletop hobbyists and collectors.

Paizo provided a spring 2026 shipping estimate, which gives backers a timeline for when they can expect to receive the game and begin running the campaign at home or at local gaming groups. The BackerKit campaign has raised substantial funding, demonstrating strong community interest and the appeal of a Pathfinder branded board game that translates role playing mechanics into cooperative board play.

For hobbyists who run games or who collect Pathfinder products, Pathfinder Quest represents a bridge between role playing sessions and board game nights. The branching narrative and linked scenario design mirror campaign style progression, making the title useful for groups that want a shared, persistent story without assigning one person to run the game. The inclusion of robust components and custom dice also makes the product attractive for display and for players who value physical game elements.

The full coverage of the project includes pricing breakdowns, a short evaluation of whether backing the project is recommended for different types of players, and direct references to the BackerKit project page and Paizo materials for readers who want detailed pledging information. With substantial backing so far and a clear production timetable, Pathfinder Quest will be of interest to regular Pathfinder players, board game collectors, and store organizers planning in person events or campaigns in early 2026.
