  • A cloaked figure wanders through the crowded tavern, unheeded by all. Suddenly he casts back his hood: it is the Bard! He has come to tell of the greatest thing ever to happen to a table surface: Heroquest!
    Feel the excitement! Taste the fear! Heft your Broad-soad in celebration of the pinnacle of all that is, was, and could ever be in the arena of fantasy adventure games!

      Or possibly kill yourself when you were at the floor.

    I first got this game when I was 14 in 1991. I got it as my "big" Christmas gift. It was the commercial that got me, and I begged my parents for it. After boxing day I convinced four of my friends in my apartment complex to play it with me. We played for three days straight, and when we got kicked out of apartments by one of our parental sets because we were making too much noise, we went and played in the top stairwell of the building. The stairwell was dark and creepy and had this weird red carpeting. We had our flashlights and played in the dimness of the stairwell. After we had played though it and I could find no one else to play it with me again, I painted all miniatures. I didn't play it again until my 20's, when I told a new group of friends all about it. I pulled it out of my closet and they were impressed with my paint job. We had a blast. Faster forward nearly 10 years and I'm now starting my career as high school English teacher. I started the games club (literally as an excuse to get someone the play heroquest with me) and the club went off. I had a blast introducing the game to the students. I left my game board in one of the classroom closets, and because life moves quickly I forgot all about it. I got married and found another teaching position and left the school, but I had left my heroquest game board and all my painted figures behind, forgetting all about it. I went back years later and it was gone. Just this week I spent way too much money and bought a complete set on ebay. It arrived today. The nostalgia hit me hard. Tonight, with my wife and three kids (ages 13-8) we're going to play. I love this dang game.

You play as the dwarf for long enough you forget all your problems. Why is that? Well its because the best thing about Hero Quest is the Ale.

As a professional game designer myself i think of this video often, to inspire this passion and dedication that this game gave you and thus you gave to everyone else.

      With all the jokes aside it was a simple game that had great sculptures and 3D cardboard furniture with about 12 dungeons that were all different. Characters could upgrade a few equipments but the stats basically stayed the same. It had a lot of physical charm and mystery elements to it. The original price I think ranged from 20-40 dollars so it had quite a bit of equipment for its price at the time. Today a game with the same things cost much more. It was a real good way for those not looking to be overwhelmed by hundreds of rules in.a RPG setting but sill get a great dungeon slashing experience.

      Most of the rules have been lost to time. It involves blu-tac (or an alternative), patience, and luck. The latter especially as accidental falls from the 'ceiling' accrue rolls for damage - for you any anyone you land on! The dwarf was immune to falling due to his hobnail boots which, for some reason, I assumed would prevent him from being subject to sudden shifts in gravity.

    Hero Quest is what got me into D&D. We weren't able to find many people who wanted to play so I usually ended playing all of the characters. The guy who owned the game, also bought the elf's expansion pack. I was never able to play the other one. Always wanted to, but as kids we just couldn't afford it.
