One player acts as game master, revealing the maze-like dungeon piecemeal as the players wander. Up to four other players take on a character (wizard, elf, dwarf, or barbarian) and venture forth into dungeons on fantasy quests. This game was made in cooperation with Games Workshop Ltd. who designed the miniatures and helped in many of the production details including background world and art in the rule book and scenario book. The HeroQuest series consists of the main game and a number of expansions. The game is played on a grid representing the interior of a dungeon or castle, with walls segmenting the grid into rooms and corridors. One player assumes the role of the evil wizard character (Zargon/Morcar), and uses a map taken from the game's quest book to determine how the quest is to be played. The map details the placement of monsters, artifacts, and doors, as well as the overall quest the other players are embarking upon. During a Hero's turn, the player can move before or after performing one of the following actions: attack, cast a spell, search for traps and secret doors, search for treasure. The game ends when every player has either returned to the spiral staircase, exited by a door, or been killed by the evil wizard. If the objective of the quest has not been accomplished then the evil wizard character wins. Items collected during the quest may be kept for future quests. The quests usually form part of a longer story, especially the quests which are part of the expansion packs. Additional material, which is generally missed since it is not technically an expansion, was published in the HeroQuest: Adventure Design Kit which did feature one more Heroquest adventure: A Plague of Zombies." *Media Inquiries: rollingsologamer@gmail.com* *Want to support the channel?

Played the original release game with my dad back in the day and believe it's the root into why I love fantasy, D&D and all that awesome boardgame/gaming goodness
Im a newcomer myself, and there was no way i would have bought it secondhand for 500 bucks. But this new iteration is an amazing value for dollar!! Such an Epic game, and rhe sculpts are gorgeous!!!
I can see why it holds many great memories with people and that nostalgia factor. It's exactly what you expect in a solid dungeon crawler with a few surprises too. 👍🏼
There's only two problems with the main box in my eyes: There's no dedicated space for the tokens after you punch them out, and the card storage is neither deep nor wide enough, which means you can't sleeve them, and the top few cards will slide around underneath the transparent plastic tray cover. This newest version of the main box is the best one by far, though; I had the crowdfund one, and I had to take scissors to the trays in order to remove the models without damaging either them or myself.
Oh man, that’s rough. Ya, the retail seemed to be the best although not perfect. To be honest though, with the size of the content at this point it needs a third party insert. 😄👍🏼
@@RollingSolo I made my own out of foam, and it's got some space left over I can carve out for other models if needed. I don't see how you could do the same thing for the newer, smaller box, though; pretty much all the available space is taken up by stuff.

I can absolutely see why. I plan to get my kids into this one with me. 🔥
Bought it for me and the kids for this Xmas-gives me 3 months to learn how to and paint the miniatures. Cannot wait!!!
haha! That’s what I need to find time for..painting!
Im a newcomer myself, and there was no way i would have bought it secondhand for 500 bucks. But this new iteration is an amazing value for dollar!! Such an Epic game, and rhe sculpts are gorgeous!!!
You did the right thing! The new version is great and the minis are well done. 😄👍🏼
Love this game, my first board game in the 80s

I’ll send you my address! 😜
The quality of the terrain even looks good. Will you be doing a solo playthrough with the app?
It’ll be on the list of games I want to cover on the channel for sure. Thanks for watching! 😄👍🏼
Since you'll be playing Solo maybe you can use that GM screen to drop falling rocks on unsuspecting fools in unrelated games.
If I didn’t do that, I’d be fool!
