Check out the detail. This ain't no muhfuggen Monopoly, nigga.

HeroQuest is a simple board game with two rules:

  • Everyone wants to be the barbarian
  • No one wants to be the wizard

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.

Comes with awesome 25mm dungeon furniture.

HeroQuest is the not the first of it's kind, but it is considered the progenitor of a lineage of minis and dungeon-crawler games:

  • HeroQuest (1989)
  • Advanced HeroQuest (1989)
  • DragonQuest (1992)
  • Mutant Chronicles: Siege of the Citadel (1993)
  • Warhammer Quest (1995)
  • Doom: The Boardgame (2004)
  • Descent: Journeys in the Dark (2005)
