    I was lucky enough to find the base game and wrath of the witch king for 200 bucks. I thought it was a lot at the time, but now I know I got a pretty good deal on them.

    There was the 2nd edition too. The Advanced Quest which came with the men at arms.

    We played this a lot in college because it was so short and most of us were gamers short on time. Last played with family a couple years ago, but I'll be breaking it out again soon.

    Great video 👍😀
    Loved playing this back in the day.
    From what I can remember, the Ogre Horde expansion also gave rules for the Chaos Sorcerer's spells. Wizards of Morcar then introduced henchmen for the heroes, allowing you to hire crossbowmen, halberds, and a couple of others.
    White Dwarf even had a couple of adventures. I think one of those introduced Skaven.
    Great games!

      I'm slowly getting hold of the white Dwarf issues and may make my own version of the ogre horde. I have the components in pdf form.

    The American version with zargon was considered second edition with changed rules chaos spells for the monsters many more artifacts tougher monsters, the adventures had more monsters in them. the game was called Heroquest Game System. a much harder game

    Great video! Over in North America we had the same armory as the UK. The DM screen we had gave a summary of the monsters. I don't think we had the equipment cards though and our first dungeon is The Trial instead of The Maze.
