Description Description
HeroQuest is Milton Bradley's approach to a Dungeons & Dragons-style adventure game. 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. Plastic miniatures and 3-D furniture make this game very approachable. Expansions were also released for this system. The HeroQuest series consists of the main game and a number of expansions. This game was made in cooperation with Games Workshop who designed the miniatures and helped in many of the production details including background world and art in the rule book and scenario book. 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. Other sources of HeroQuest supplements which are available (in some cases online).

He cambiado este juegazo por el Gloomhaven Fauces del León que tenía precintado. Buen cambio.

The game of games. This is the one that started it all for me. If you like HQ, you will also like Descent. The amount of time we spent playing this game is unreal. And since we blasted through all the core quests and expansion quests in no time, we soon found ourselves creating our own (more detailed) quests. We even created quests with two boards (one on the table and one hovering over the first one, on pillars). I know nostalgia plays a huge part here, but this game is truly fantastic. I even built my own custom-made wooden box for the entire core-game plus the expansions I had. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btQiwabtwkQ

Love. There is some nostalgia in this review, but its still really great. And i dont really see a reason not to give it a 10. You could say it can be boring or requires a "GM" but those arent breakers imo.
