HeroQuest Buying Guide

HeroQuest, a pioneering dungeon-crawling board game, rekindled the spirit of tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons over 30 years ago. Players stepped into the roles of Barbarian, Elf, and other iconic heroes, experiencing thrilling adventures around the kitchen table in a fraction of the time it takes for a traditional TTRPG. Its abundance of plastic miniatures and multi-quest storyline captivated a devoted fanbase, leading to a successful Hasbro HasLab crowdfunding campaign and a triumphant return. Years later, both new and veteran players enjoy the revived HeroQuest and its expanding universe of adventures.

This buyer's guide helps you plan your heroic quests to defeat the evil Zargon. Prepare for adventure!
