HeroQuest board game (1989)

Glad you got it. I realized I think it needs 2 regular 6 sided dice. But have fun bub. Glad it's going to get played. I literally cleaned off 18 years worth of dust

Because of this thread I had to find one on ebay so i could play with my son. Found a complete set for a good deal, just waiting for it to arrive.

Yeah I definitely need to track down the expansions for this thing. More minis!

awesome! i need to get mine down out of the attic just so i can look at it again. i want to play this now. lol

First night was a blast with the wife! I was the Overlord and she played the four Heroes.

I thought playing the Overlord would be boring, but it was more entertaining than I thought. Especially when my wife spent 10 minutes trying to clear a room, only to find out the treasure chest was empty

lol, we did the exact same quest a couple of nights ago with my new game.

 

[Sandman0077]

Oh yeah, if this one is this much fun, I can only imagine how much they have improved. I've started reprinting the manuals and ordered new plastic dice so I can have a really nice copy of this game. I told my wife I wanted to redo the board and make it 3D and she said I could, so whoo hoo I guess I have something else to add to the plate.

There's a guy on youtube who redid the board with segmented floor tiles and walls. Moss, stones, bags of grain, piles of bones, you name it. Looks awesome but way more involved than I'd ever want to do. Really cool though.

So you found some of the expansion set quests? Got any links?

Here's where I got the PDFs to print out. Haven't gone through all of them yet, but it appears to have everything you need:

HeroQuest :: Game System :: North America (Canada, United States of America) :: Ye Olde Inn

EDIT:

I used those files to make new copies of the Quest Book and Instruction Book. I printed them on 8.5x11 parchment paper to give it an old, timely look. Slightly smaller (Original booklets are 9" tall, after trimming the new ones are 8" tall.), but they have a much nicer feel on the thicker pound paper.

Original on top, new on bottom:

This reminds me of an electronic version my brother had. It wasn't HeroQuest, but I don't remember what the actual name was. I just remember it had a base with red squares with little symbols on them. I think there were metal playing pieces for characters and sections of wall. When you landed on a red square, there would be a sound effect that dictated what happened (dragon attack, trap activation, etc.).

 

[Sandman0077]

I have no idea what that game is. Then again, I just got into the whole hoard game scene. Sounds interesting though!

Ha ha I had hero quest and a couple of the expansions. Great fun and easy game for newbies. Perfect entry level.

I upgraded to war hammer fantasy later on. Which has much more scope but when you start building armies it costs an arm and a leg. Lol

Anyone remember Talisman?

Wasn't there a game like this that came with a videotape or something?

 

[TazVader]

Mmmm...you thinking of those ones that had an evil gm like "The Gatekeeper!," "ROLL THE DICE!" Lol

I have one on DVD with a Mummy. They also did a witch, baron Samedi, and umm...a female vampire. Probably more. I think I have a star trek one round the house too lol they were fun.

For those interested..my current HeroQuest project..

 

[Wes R]

You're going all out, it looks really good so far. Are the parts all premade or you sculpting them?

 

[Sandman0077]

They are all made using Hirst Art molds, although I will have to custom make some of the room tiles.

 

[Wes R]

They really make the game stand out more. I bet the guys who played old school DnD wished they had those lol

 

[Sandman0077]

They are pretty sweet. Versatile too. Here are some sewer pieces I made too.

 

[Amish Trooper]

Lol that's great. Talk about taking the game to the next level. Have you painted any of the figures?
