Treasure
The game focused on the acquisition of vast amounts of treasure. These items were often gained after any particular group of Monsters were killed & as a reward for killing all monsters within an Objective room. Treasure was essential to the Warriors development (it could be sold for gold and then in turn pay for training and advancement when enough gold was accumulated) as well as essential in offering extra help through a dungeon, be it through healing, a weapon, extra armour to make the warriors tougher to kill or as a talisman or other trinket that gave the warrior a certain ability that could be used per turn or per adventure.
Treasure was split into two kinds: Dungeon Room treasure and Objective Room treasure. Dungeon room treasure was collected after every group of Dungeon Monsters were killed & Objective room treasure were sometimes collected once the warriors had killed all monsters within the given objective room or as a reward at the end of the Adventure.
Games Workshop released three additional ‘Treasure Packs’, each containing a selection of both Dungeon and Objective Room treasure cards.

Famous quotes containing the word treasure:
“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”
—Bible: New Testament Jesus, in Matthew, 6:19-21.
“A self-denial, no less austere than the saint’s, is demanded of the scholar. He must worship truth, and forgo all things for that, and choose defeat and pain, so that his treasure in thought is thereby augmented.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Bohemia is nothing more than the little country in which you do not live. If you try to obtain citizenship in it, at once the court and retinue pack the royal archives and treasure and move away beyond the hills.”
—O. Henry [William Sydney Porter] (1862–1910)
