Description
Deep inside another dimension, face battling barbarians and evil magic on a quest for adventure in a maze of monsters. This is HeroQuest, the fantasy adventure game, where winning means mastering the art of combat and magic. Once you get into it, you’ll never be the same.
HeroQuest is a role-playing adventure game designed by Stephen Baker. One player takes on the role of game master and evil sorcerer, Zargon, while up to four other players choose from a selection of characters: Barbarian, Wizard, Elf, and Dwarf.
Players can choose from a variety of quests provided in the quest book, each of which takes place on the single folded map board provided. The game master is given a guide and notes they can use to set out enemies, treasures, and traps for the adventurers to run into as they explore. A blank template of the map is also provided for you to make your own adventures.
The game includes plastic miniatures for each character, various monster enemies, and furniture to populate rooms as players enter them. Doors are provided as miniatures that can be placed on different parts of the map depending on the quest. Items, gold, and monsters can also be found by drawing the illustrated treasure cards. Tokens are provided for secret doors and traps.
Each player takes a turn. On their turn, a hero is able to move and take one action. Roll the two red dice to determine how far you can move your hero. Once you’re ready to take your action, you have six options: attack, cast a spell, search for treasure, search for secret doors, search for traps, or disarm a trap.
To attack, the player rolls combat dice. If the hero lands a hit, then the monsters roll for defence. You must succeed in dealing more damage than the monster has in health points to defeat them. Visit the armoury to purchase extra equipment to prepare yourself for upcoming battles.
After the heroes have all taken their actions, it’s Zargon’s turn. Zargon controls every single monster on the board, and their aim is to stop the heroes!
HeroQuest is suitable for ages 9 and up, making it a great adventure role-play experience for a family.
