HeroQuest Buying Guide

HeroQuest, a pioneering dungeon-crawling board game, rekindled the thrill of tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons over 30 years ago. Players assumed the roles of iconic heroes—the Barbarian, the Elf, and more—experiencing epic fantasy adventures around the kitchen table in a fraction of the time it takes for a traditional TTRPG. Its iconic box overflowing with plastic miniatures and its multi-quest storyline captivated a loyal fanbase, a passion that endures even now, years after Hasbro successfully revived the game through its HasLab crowdfunding campaign.

Today, both veteran and new fans alike can enjoy the revitalized HeroQuest and its expanding universe of adventures! This buyer's guide helps you plan your own heroic escapades against the evil Zargon.
