Hasbro Gaming Heroquest

HeroQuest has always held a special place in my heart. It was a firm favourite when I was growing up in the early 1990s, and the news of its re-release was genuinely exciting. Having previously gone to great lengths to track down second-hand copies as gifts for my siblings, being able to buy a brand-new edition felt like a small dream fulfilled. The new version strikes an impressive balance between authenticity and modern refinement. The core gameplay remains true to the original, with its mix of exploration, cooperation and turn-based adventure, while the updated components and optional companion app bring it neatly into the present day. The app in particular is an excellent addition, allowing everyone to play on the same team without someone needing to take on the role of the villain. The quality of the pieces is superb. The miniatures, furniture and game tiles are sturdier and more detailed than before, and the artwork retains the rich fantasy feel that made the original so distinctive. The overall presentation - from the box design to the cards and rulebook - feels premium and well considered. It does take a little time to reacquaint yourself with the rules, especially if it’s been decades since you last played, but once familiar it flows naturally and is highly enjoyable. The difficulty level feels slightly higher than I remember, which adds to the challenge and replay value. Best of all, it’s proven to be a fantastic family game. While my seven-year-old can’t quite manage the rules on her own, she absolutely loves joining in - particularly when we play over Zoom with my brothers. It’s a wonderful blend of nostalgia and new memories in the making.

Brilliant game, download the free app to use alongside which takes the place of a DM

Much improved on the original set better models etc.... we had a blast, now in the process of painting the figures.

I recently had the immense pleasure of experiencing the Avalon Hill HeroQuest gaming system, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations! From the moment I opened the box, I was transported to a world of epic quests, treacherous dungeons, and thrilling battles. HeroQuest has truly earned its place as a timeless classic in the realm of tabletop gaming. First and foremost, the production quality of HeroQuest is outstanding. The artwork on the game board, cards, and miniatures is beautifully detailed and evocative, immersing players in a rich fantasy world. The sturdy construction of the game components ensures durability, allowing for countless hours of adventuring without fear of wear and tear. The game mechanics strike a perfect balance between accessibility and depth. HeroQuest is easy to learn, making it an excellent choice for players of all ages and experience levels. The straightforward rules allow for quick setup and smooth gameplay, ensuring that the focus remains on the excitement of the adventure. Yet, beneath the simplicity lies a strategic depth that keeps players engaged and eager to explore further. One of the standout features of HeroQuest is its immersive storytelling. The included quest book presents a captivating narrative, guiding players through a series of interconnected scenarios. Each quest unfolds with its own unique challenges, surprises, and objectives, ensuring that no two adventures feel the same. The game master role adds an extra layer of excitement, allowing for dynamic storytelling and unexpected twists. The hero and monster miniatures are a true delight. The level of detail and craftsmanship is remarkable, bringing the characters and creatures to life on the table. Painting and customizing these miniatures can be a rewarding hobby in itself, adding a personal touch to the game and creating a truly unique gaming experience. Furthermore, the replayability factor of HeroQuest is off the charts. With multiple quests, each with branching paths and alternative outcomes, the game offers endless hours of thrilling gameplay. Additionally, the inclusion of expansion packs and user-generated content ensures that the adventures never have to end. The possibilities for new quests, heroes, monsters, and equipment are limited only by the players' imagination. Finally, I must commend Avalon Hill for their commitment to the HeroQuest community. The support, updates, and engagement from the company have been exceptional. Their dedication to ensuring the longevity and enjoyment of the game is truly commendable. In conclusion, Avalon Hill's HeroQuest gaming system is a true gem in the world of tabletop gaming. With its superb production quality, accessible yet strategic gameplay, immersive storytelling, stunning miniatures, and limitless replayability, it is no wonder that HeroQuest has garnered a devoted following over the years. Whether you are a seasoned gamer or new to the hobby, this game is an absolute must-have. Prepare to embark on an unforgettable adventure that will captivate your imagination and leave you craving for more. Five stars without hesitation!

Shipping: I received my item in EXCELLENT condition. The game was in a box straight from Hasbro factory box into an Amazon box. ( 2X boxes!) So the game box itself was in pristine condition. No missing parts/figured. Game Board also intact, perfect condition. So this is a good size box filled with tons of figures (both monsters AND furniture) which will likely find use in custom DnD games! Great for many ages; some "classes" could easily be played by someone as young as 10yrs of age ("simple" character with "simple" skills) Plays with a friend and my husband; all over the age of 40 lol It was fun. We're DnD veterans so this was light and chill. However, giving us the DnD itch! Again, they have age 14 on the box, but I was pretty cool when I was 10... lol I know, kids nowadays are not how us 80s kids were built, but hey - to each their own! It's expensive, might be worth waiting to see if it ever goes on sale; but this game is just getting harder to find, so maybe don't wait too long!

Box arrived in surprisingly immaculate condition for international shipping. Unfortunately, game board is torn (on the exact same spot with a suspiciously similar damage pattern with previous review.)

The HeroQuest reprint does not disappoint, it is everything the original was but without broken skeletons or missing dice. Sure, it's not Gloomhaven or any other rules-heavy dungeon crawl but you can safely bring it out every holidays and still recall how to play which makes it a winner for me. HeroQuest I can confidently recommend but it's a large box with fragile contents and we all want our games to arrive without crushed corners or dented box lids. THIS may not be Amazon's strong point, I've received my fair share of damaged games in the past but today I received HeroQuest in its original Avalon Hill shipping box inside an Amazon box so it was bulletproof and arrived in perfect condition. Obviously I cannot say that they will all be delivered in this way (though they clearly should be at this price point) but as a board game collector it was like Christmas; an awesome game, at a great price and delivered without the slightest damage. It is nice that such a small thing can make a buyer so happy.

Jogo HeroQuest desde criança na versão mais antiga e como nao encontrei o jogo para comprar, resolvi comprar o da Amazon internacional. Ele está todo em inglês mas vale cada centavo. As miniaturas são de muita qualidade. Pra vc que é br mas deseja ter o jogo traduzido, você pode colocar as cartas no canva, remover o texto em inglês, traduzir e escrever o texto em português tudo pelo canva. Comprei sleeves e coloquei a carta original e a minha carta impressa com o texto em português e está muito fiel ao original. Da um trabalho mas vale muito a pena! Recomendo.
