HeroQuest is a simple board game with two rules:
- Everyone wants to be the barbarian (the barbarian had a great mechanic by which monsters he killed counted as 'trophies).
- No one wants to be the wizard (the wizard got spells randomly, and rolled the die for whem wandering monsters showed up, thereby often taking the blame for bad luck).
The basic idea of Heroquest is that you control a pre-built party of stock fantasy characters (Barbarian, Dwarf, Elf and Wizard) running through pre-made or custom-made modules on a board. It is, in essence, an extremely stripped down version of DnD made to be as simple as possible while still providing a dungeon-crawling experience.
