More than 30 years ago, HeroQuest burst onto the scene as a pioneering dungeon-crawling board game, capturing the essence of tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons. This iconic game allowed players to step into the shoes of legendary characters such as the mighty Barbarian and the spell-slinging Elf, enabling friends to live out their heroic fantasies in a compact two-hour session, a stark contrast to the lengthier traditional TTRPG experiences. With its trove of plastic miniatures and a compelling multi-quest narrative, HeroQuest quickly cultivated a devoted fan base that continued to champion the game decades later. This enthusiasm was reignited when Hasbro, through its HasLab crowdfunding platform, asked fans if they wanted HeroQuest to make a comeback—and the response was a resounding yes.

Today, both new and seasoned fans have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the world of HeroQuest, thanks to the re-release of the game and its array of expansions. Whether you're looking to band together to defeat the nefarious Zargon or explore new adventures, this buyer's guide will help you plan your next heroic quest!
