Just got this back from my dad. Opening it brought back so many memories. I can't wait to play it with my Boys tonight. He even had the ELF expansion pack !!
This was a coordinated effort by Games Workshop (of Warhammer and Warhammer 40K fame), and Milton Bradley, which had been making board games for over a century. It is also the grandfather of board game dungeon crawls like Descent.
Found it complete at a local thrift store with all prices in good condition for $1.26, looked online later and realized how much i saved! Always check thrift stores or flea markets.
Did he just say that if the elf had one hit from the goblin get threw, the elf with 6 body points would drop down to 1 life? I think he meant to say drop by 1 life. 7:35
Good review! Though I certainly wouldn't call Hero Quest cheap. If you want all the pieces you really have to be ready to pony up some cash! I have a copy but have yet to play. Thanks for going over the rules!
I have some questions about the game and how its played. 1. Can the monsters move out of the rooms once they have been "opened" by a hero? 2. Do the "wandering monsters" show up every time a hero searches for treasure or just the one time? 3. When do the objects show up to the hero in the room? when they enter the room or just look thru the door? 4. Are there rules of engagement? can a hero disengage from a monster if they have exchanged an attack? 5. Can a hero move around a room without engaging with a monster?
1. Yes, but only through open doors. Monsters cant open closed doors (unless the notes state otherwise). 2. Wandering monsters show up whenever a hero draws a wandering monster card from the treasure pile. 3. The objects are put out as soon as a hero opens the door. Only secret doors, hidden treasure and traps are not placed. 4. Yes. A hero may attack a monster and then move away on the same turn. They just cant attack a second monster (unless they are using Heroic Brew). 5. Yes.
I got this game in the 90's and later my cousin donated his two slightly less than full sets, so I had plenty of extra stuff such as monster figures etc. I also bought the two expansions available in my country, the Kellar's Keep and the Return of the Witch Lord.
Well, I consider myself lucky, given I found two copies of the game in reasonably good condition for $4-18AU around the charity shops around here in Australia.
I use to work demolition and construction and i found this game in an attic in one of the houses i was tearing down. Sadly most of pieces were lost but ive always thought it was a pretty cool looking game
I've played both now and I'd say the US version is a refinement and improvement over the UK original. great stuff for a kid back in the 80's who wasn't mature enough for D&D. with a few house rules and fan tweaks it's even more fun now...
Let's not forget that HERO QUEST IS THE BEST GAME EVER MADE AND EVERYONE WHO SAYS DIFFERENT......IS WRONG!!!
HAHAHA I JUST WATCHED THAT VIDEO!!
That video is the GOAT
Just dug it out from the back of a cupboard
I agree
The only thing better than heroquest is more heroquest!

Great overview, thank you. Very clear on how to play!

They are re-releasing it in December 2021!
Just picked it up on ebay--- runs a couple hundred! Keep it if you got it.

You don't need anything else than hero quest since, to quote the bard, THE ONLY WAY TO EXPAND HERO QUEST IS WITH MORE HERO QUEST!
I have some questions about the game and how its played.
1. Can the monsters move out of the rooms once they have been "opened" by a hero?
2. Do the "wandering monsters" show up every time a hero searches for treasure or just the one time?
3. When do the objects show up to the hero in the room? when they enter the room or just look thru the door?

Like the review and guide. Just bought it used to play way back.
I got this game in the 90's and later my cousin donated his two slightly less than full sets, so I had plenty of extra stuff such as monster figures etc. I also bought the two expansions available in my country, the Kellar's Keep and the Return of the Witch Lord.
I wouldn't say you can pick it up cheap. Unless $90 to $130 is a drop in the bucket for you.
Sometimes you can get lucky and find a copy in a charity shop for a few quid.
I sold my copy for just a pound at a boot fair. What a fool I was!
@@robins5314 heartbreaking.
have a buddy that found a near mint condition box for 80

Does Sargon actually move monsters on his own or does it depend on the quest ?
Excellent review

It's like D&D meets Stratego. 😹
On the cheap? Its 200 bucks on Ebay
Had one with pewter pieces completed.. decades ago..
I threw a pristine hero quest in the bin when I moved out 😩😩😩😭😭😢🥺🥺
Good basic tutorial.
Cool game board
Came out in the late 80s
If you have a PC buy Cyberpunk and save 50 bucks. If you have a PS4 ,then buy heroquest.
Looked on Ebay for a set. $300 if its complete. ugh.
Just got a complete set 160$ on Mercari…worth it I recommend looking other sources and make sure they have reviews…few scammers out there

I came here specifically for the spell info and I got fucked..
@10:08. The elf will come in here and hopefully beat off this guy.

I disliked just to be a special snowflake and be the only one that only disliked even if i liked.
I just found it for cheap $130 LOL OL
you could remove the dust before you start your video now couldn't you?
