HeroQuest, a pioneering dungeon-crawling board game, rekindled the magic of tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons over 30 years ago. Players embraced roles such as the Barbarian and Elf, experiencing heroic adventures around the kitchen table in a fraction of the time it takes for a traditional TTRPG. Its iconic box overflowing with plastic miniatures and multi-quest storyline captivated a devoted fanbase, leading to a successful HasLab crowdfunding campaign and a triumphant return. Years later, both new and veteran players enjoy the revitalized HeroQuest and its expanding universe of adventures.
This buyer's guide helps you plan your heroic escapades against the villainous Zargon.
