"Heed well my words for I will tell you of times past, of darker days, days when the realm was saved against all hope. For I fear the darkness is about to return...." And it did, in 2022 courtesy of Avalon Hill's re-release of the classic game "Heroquest"! Heroquest is a fantasy adventure set deep within a hidden stone labyrinth. This maze of underground rooms and corridors is controlled by Zargon and the evil sorcerer's forces of dread. Your four valiant heroes have been summoned to do battle with this ancient evil and must descend into a trecherous world of the unknown, restore honour to the realm, and destroy the forces of dread! Heroquest is a game for 2-5 players set across a total of 14 quests, with each quest taking approximately one hour to complete and increasing in difficulty as the game progresses. during a quest your heroes may acquire valuable treasures that can be spent between quests to purchase new weapons, armour, potions, and equipment to assist you with the missions ahead. This is a co-operative game. The aim is not individual success and you will have to work together to defeat the evil sorcerer Zargon and his minions. divided you will fall! This game contains the following: - Gameboard - 31 monster miniatures - 4 hero miniatures -15 pieces of furniture - 21 dungeon doors - 93 game cards - 4 turn order cards - cardboard tiles representing hidden doors/traps etc - quest book - 4 character cards )Barbarian, Elf, Wizard, Dwarf) - game masters screen - pad of character sheets - 6 white combat dice - 2 red movement dice For those who have played the game before the sequence of play and rules haven't changed. For those who are new to heroquest, the rules are relatively simple to pick up and understand. One player must take the role of Zargon and effectively act as the dungeon master (DM), whilst the remaining players each take a character each. If there are less than five players then it is acceptable for a player to control more than one character as the game is optimised for all of the characters to be used in each mission. Each character has several important attributes: - Attack dice. The number of dice the character roles when attacking monsters - Defense dice. The number of dice rolled when defending attacks. - Body points. Reflecting a characters physical constitution and ability to withstand harm. - Mind points. Reflecting a characters wisdom, intelligence, and resistance to magical influence. Characters also start with an item of weaponry each, where as the Wizard may choose three of the four elemental spell decks with the fourth going to the Elf. On any given turn the heroes start. Each hero can move by rolling the two red movement dice (D6) and moving upto the total amount rolled. Each hero can then take one action, such as searching a room for treasures, searching a corridor for traps or hidden doors, attacking a monster, or using a spell. Combat is resolved by the hero rolling their specified number of attack dice, with each skull rolled representing a hit. The monster attacked then responds by rolling their specified number of defense dice, with each shield rolled representing an attack deflected or blocked. For every hit that doesn't get deflected your hero scores one point of damage to the monster, which in most cases will kill them although some monsters have several body points and may require several successful hits to kill them. When searching for treasure there are several possible outcomes. In some locations you may discover special artifacts (as dictated by the quest book). If there are no special items then you must select a card from the treasure deck of cards - but beware - whilst this may reward you with a discovery of gold or valuable trinkets, a full 50% of the cards reveal traps that may harm your hero or wandering monsters who will immediately attack you. Once each hero has completed their moves and actions, it's Zargons turn. Zargon controls every monster revealed on the game board at that given time. Like heroes, monsters may move (although their move is a defined amount rather than 2D6) and make an attack, although some monsters can also cast spells. Monsters do not search rooms, open or close doors, and cannot pass through hero characters. Quests are won by meeting the specific criteria stipulated by the quest book. Between quests all of a characters attributes are returned to their starting levels and the hero may also keep any items, artifacts, or treasures obtained during the mission, with acquired wealth being spent in the armoury if you wish in preparation for the next quest. Despite now being more than 20 years old, Heroquest remains a game that is as easy to play as it is to enjoy. The rules haven't changed in all of this time because they don't need to because it's a timeless formula that works as well today as it did back then. The new models and furniture are of incredible detail and quality, and no assembly is required allowing you to play the game straight out of the box. Speaking of boxes - this one has all the space you need to safely contain all of the games componants without any of them rattling around loose as was the case with the original version of the game. In terms of complaints there's very little to moan about here. The miniatures can be a little fiddly to take out of the plastic blisters that they are contained within in the box, so serious gamers may want to look for a more bespoke storage solution. Apart from that my only real complaint is that the game requires a minimum of two players - a problem in these times of covid - although there are numerous fan-designed rules for solo play online and also an app available for download that allows solo play. At £100 the game is also quite expensive (the original was only about £25), and for that price you can purchase pretty much any table top game system you like, many of which are more complex than this is. Lets be honest though, you don't want to do that - you want to dive back into your childhood and play Heroquest. I'll use my broadsword!!!!

Avalon Hill HeroQuest Game System. I have to say that after owning the original HeroQuest back in the day (1989 I think) and lovingly it to death this is still a fantastic game although I miss the look and feel of some of the original features & older miniatures the new ones are just as good in there own right. I should mention that being European im used to the European rule set this new edition heavily features rules from the American/USA edition which i also enjoyed but constantly referring to Morcar as Zargon takes a little more getting used to😬. I have to admit that maybe its because im older but i seem to be enjoying this game much more now than when i was i kid and i used to love this game when i was young. I have to admit this game is quite expensive but it also feels a bit like a collector's item, a lot of attention and detail has gone into not just remaking this classic game but also in the way its packaged. In the old set everything came on old fashioned sprues which had to be cut out using snips in this set everything is set out for you neatly into its own individual indentations keeping everything in excellent condition. Even the back of the trays are reinforced with cardboard and each tray has a lovely hero quest themed sleeve which is a really nice touch. The playing board is also numbered but it doesn't say if its a limited run. My game arrived in perfect condition and the box it came in had been reinforced and that box came in another box which was stuffed with paper packing this item could have been kicked all the way down the street Ace Ventura style and it still would have arrived in perfect condition so a big thank you goes out to those who packaged this item. This is a superb game and perfect for beginners of Tabletop Fantasy Dungeon Crawlers/Adventure Games with Miniatures. Suitable for ages 14 And Up 2-5 Players This game and its expansions Can now be played with just one person via the official downloadable app and third party accessories. 🧙‍♂️🛡️⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🛡️🧙‍♂️ Add ons/expansion packs are also available expanding the game further if wish to take your game to the next level. There is also a massive community out there who are hugely passionate about this game and many welcome new players and are happy to offer help & advice to anyone who wishes it so what are you waiting for grab your copy today 🛡️⚔️🛡️.

Fantastic game that rekindled some great memories , Get the kids off of those screens and spend time as a family slaying

This is a dream come true for me I had the original one but this doesn’t just live up to it but it’s better than the original in some ways. Definitely don’t be put off by the price it’s great value for money for what you get. The biggest difference is that a lot of the original items were made of cardboard and now they are beautifully sculpted items that have weight to them and don’t fall over. The board itself is massive and perfectly illustrated to add atmosphere to playing it and the characters have designs that make them feel real. The expansion packs are a nice addition because the original game had ones that were limited in their scope but I think they are a little too expensive and there’s too many of them. If you want to introduce younger family members to this type of game it’s perfect because of the campaign structure that teaches them how to play and gets gradually harder. I have started my five year old twin grandchildren playing it by creating my own less complicated campaigns for them my granddaughter may end up a axe murderer but her brother prefers the magic elements. This game in my opinion is suitable for the age range of 5 to however old you are.

I still have some of the old components from the original. Still the same good introduction to dungeon delving, maybe a little basic for some but very easy to add your own custom rules into. The new miniatures are very nice, a good upgrade from the originals. The furniture items are the excellent and can be added to any dungeon delver. I also bought the expansions at the same time which dovetail nicely into the main game, the larger box expansions particularly add new rules and new characters and monsters (and more challenge to the players as some of the new monsters are nasty). The smaller ones generally give you more quests and more of the core game miniatures with the newer expansions adding alternate poses and genders for the basic monsters (a nice touch).

Great game to play with family/friends. Quality of items good, far better than original 80's version.

Great product, loads of minis

A great re-issue of the classic boardgame. Many tutorials on YouTube for getting started and painting the figures (you don't really need to, but it can be fun.). The expansions look like they add enough to make the game playable for years, and there are fanzine-type adventure collections available (Sundayquest?) Contents are nicely packed. If you do decide to paint the figures, there are foam trays available to replace the plastic ones that come with the game. When you buy this on Amazon, be careful to check the selection to have it shipped in a box. I bought it and it was shipped in just the game box, with shipping labels stuck on, and the game box was badly scuffed and dinged. I returned it and got another copy shipped in a carton. I never imagined a game like this would be shipped without any packaging. Whoever at Amazon decides what gets shipped in its retail packaging should know better than to ship a boardgame with no external carton.

Sente-se um pouco, quero falar de história por aqui. Um garoto de 7 anos, vivia brincando de espadas e escudos com os primos e amigos, vivendo grandes fantasias que eram inspiradas em programas que via na TV. Desde “Thundercats” à “Caverna do Dragão”, aventuras épicas inspiravam crianças e adultos de todos os cantos do mundo a querer viver isso de alguma maneira. Sabendo disso, a mãe desse garoto decide presentea-lo com uma edição de um jogo novo, que estava fazendo sucesso com a garotada, produzido pela Grow/Estrela. Ele não acredita quando abre o embrulho de papel, sua felicidade é tanta que ele pula e corre pela casa, mal consegue dormir naquela noite. Junto com seus amigos, várias aventuras e masmorras são vencidas e momentos de glória são vividos. Claro, estamos falando de uma criança de 8 anos aqui, então cuidado e zelo não são suas principais qualidades. 2 cópias estiveram em posse do pequeno garoto, até que em 1998, o jogo é repercutido como uma artimanha do demônio e é descontinuado. Durante a minha vida, tive um histórico de amor e ódio com Heroquest, aonde nunca consegui jogar o jogo em sua plenitude, e nunca consegui ter a posse do jogo por muito tempo. Quando já era adulto, decidi que compraria o jogo nem que fosse para te-lo na estante. No total foram 4 cópias, que tive que me desfazer ao longo dos anos. 1 - Peças perdidas. (8 anos) 2 - Jogado fora por ser do capeta. (12 anos) 3 - Roubado, provavelmente por um “amigo”. (16 anos) 4 - Vendido para pagar uma viagem (26 anos) 5 - Dentro da caixa de papelão à minha frente neste exato momento, que acabou de chegar dos correios. (32 anos) Pois é, eu comprei a edição nova de 20211, e posso afirmar, meus amigos, esse momento se chama felicidade! A sensação é igual à daquela pequena criança fantasiosa de 7 anos. Não importa se o jogo não é tão bom quanto outros hoje em dia, e muito menos se está datado. Mesmo sem ter amigos para jogá-lo, possuir uma cópia de Heroquest é um significado muito complexo e importante para mim. Não sei quantos chegaram até aqui e se identificaram com o texto, mas fico feliz de poder compartilhar como me sinto em relação à esse jogo e o que ele significa para mim. Mais do que um jogo, Heroquest são memórias!

…“neu“ aufgelegt. Die Qualität ist top, und das Spiel ist auf jeden Fall sein Geld wert. Hatte bereits „die alte Version“ aus den 90ern. Aber die „Neuauflage“ ist qualitativ nochmal 2 Nummern besser verarbeitet.

Had the original Heroquest as a kid... bought this to play with the family now like my father had done for me and my brother 30 years ago. It's as good as I remember. Somehow Hasbro managed to not ruin it even though the IP changing from more Warhammer to more 'generic' might annoy some folks.

Fantástico! Además con la aplicación que hace del mago es mucho más fácil aprender y no necesitas a nadie que haga de máster!!
