A thousand years of darkness is comming, where the screams of tortured souls will echo through the land because the one who have made a video about Hero Quest have refused to execute the ritual, the many years old tradition what have saved the world of the reign of chaos... the ritual, where the one should say: - THE BEST THING ABOUT HERO QUEST!!!
Me and Heroquest go back 30+ years. I used to play this with my cousins and everytime I was in toys r us it was always sold out and never got to purchase it for myself. For years I tried finding a copy but never pulled the trigger for spending $100+ on an old game. I finally saw this on sale a couple a months ago and pulled the trigger. Even though I’m not expecting anything revolutionary I feel they reprinted this game for us old heads
I love this game, simply because it was the beginning of my gaming journey. Heroquest (and Space Crusade) led to Space Hulk, which led me into other Games Workshop games. I still have my original copy from the late 80s. I really should play it with my daughter at some point, to see if it's as fun as I remember.
We also really love retrostyle games. GF9 Dune, what is also an Avalon Hill game made in the late 70s. Hero Quest. Talisman 4th edition. All of these retro games have their own charm. Not to mention that Dune just blows our minds, I mean it was made in the time when Monopoly was the pinnacle of board gaming (atleast people have thought that it was) and better than many of the top 100 BGG games, and it is really unique. These retro games are a lot of fun, a bit harsh, but still great games. Btw you should really give another shot to Descent 2 after you have enjoyed Hero Quest.
Last board game I purchased back in early 1990's. Really enjoyed it as a past AD&D player. Unfortunately, got rid of it as me and my gaming group started favoring computer games over board games and RPGs. Kicking myself now as I had the two expansions Keller's Keep and Return of the Witch Lord.
Ive never played Heroquest but did buy a cheaper clone Dungeon Saga: Dwarf King's Quest by Mantic. It had quite interesting tactical dice combat and good miniatures but dreadful designed game tiles . I was bit peeved the day after buying Dungeon Saga it was announced on social media Mantics they were going to release a new improved version
Looks like fun to me! The dungeon crawl im gearing up to play right now is massive darkness 2. Got it amonth or two ago and im learning thhe rules right now to hopefully play soon. Cant wait! Have u played?
@@TheDiscriminatingGamer thank you very much! 🙂. I've played very few dungeon crawlers but jaws of the lion got me interest in playing some more. I also have betrayal at boulders gate which I wanted for some random fun. Betrayal at house on a hill several years ago and didn't understand it much but I've always enjoyed the idea of a game changing half way through.
@@RayPhay for me I really haven't spent that kind of money on a big board game so I was hesitant. When I got it it went from 110 dollars to 77 and then I used Amazon points to get it for around 50. Very situational and the only way I would have picked it up. Gameplay wise I think it suits me very well but I will actually have to get a play into tell. Haha.
I love this game, I still have my 33 year old copy sitting on my shelf ❤
@@rexross1461 Excellent!
The best thing about heroquest is HOUSE RULES!!!!
@@ryanbuell4692 Oh? What house rules do you use?
Fortress O’ Peril, and\or GravityLand?
HEROQUEST IS THE GREATEST GAME EVER MADE! AND IF ANYONE SAYS OTHERWISE THEY'RE WRONG!
- TH-cam Bard
It is also a super brutal game for the players if the dm plays it that way.
Ha! Don't know about that, but it is a really fun game.
@@TheDiscriminatingGamer
Look up Heroquest is the Best Game😉🤣
The best thing about Heroquest is the miniatures!
The real fun comes in making your own scenarios aswell 😊
I've heard that. Thanks.
I'm not a huge fan of roll-and-move mechanics in games, but I have a lot of respect for this iconic game.
I feel the same. Thanks.
It’s strictly for the younger crowd, more used to Snakes and Ladders

I'm sure you play an evil wizard very well.

Maybe I'll hit Descent 2 at some point. We'll see. I really enjoyed this one.
Now, waiting for your Heroscape Review...
Maybe someday. Thanks.
Looks like the game dungeon 😮
I haven't played that one. Does it predate this one?
@TheDiscriminatingGamer not sure, it was a game I played in college during the 80's

I like HeroQuest too…when I was 12 😜

@@eatingweevils Yeah, that would bum me out, too. I haven’t heard of that one.
Sounds like a game where you could play the with the wife and when she calls you a monster this time I could be true
Ha! Right?
