HeroQuest, a pioneering dungeon-crawling board game, rekindled the magic of tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons over 30 years ago. Players stepped into the roles of mighty Barbarian or spell-casting Elf, experiencing heroic adventures around the kitchen table in a fraction of the time it takes for a traditional TTRPG. The iconic box, brimming with plastic miniatures and a multi-quest storyline, captivated players, fostering a dedicated fanbase that championed its return through Hasbro's HasLab crowdfunding campaign.
Years later, new and seasoned fans alike enjoy the revived HeroQuest and its expanding universe. This buyer's guide helps you plan your adventures in the fight against the evil Zargon.
