On September 12, 2020, the news of a mysterious countdown to the web page bounced on social networks. After ten days of speculation and hypothesis, the countdown is over and the game has been officially revealed: here is Heroquest.
What is this?
As assumed by many, "HeroQuest Game System”Is a new basic box, with modern components and updated rules. A game that winks at the past, and which aims to make the brand popular among the new generations. The content is very similar to that of the old 90s box: the miniatures are very inspired by the GW models of the old edition, we are pleased to note how the graphics of the cards (ugly, in the original edition) are now in line with modern standards.
We also note how the famous furnishings, distinctive feature of HeroQuest, have not been repurposed, but now they are completely made of plastic, without cardboard parts, and the criticalities have been eliminated by the sculptures (no fragile candle stems, rat tails that break and cardboard doors that fold).
When and where to buy it
The product is currently available on Hasbro Pulse, a crowdfunding platform that allows you to buy two different tiers: Heroic and Mythic. The first, priced at $ 99.99, includes the base game, 4 bonus miniatures and a miniature available only during the campaign. The Mythic Tier instead, at $ 149.99, adds 2 expansions, 2 exclusive miniatures and all the bonuses unlocked during the campaign. You can see all the details at this link (even if the campaign is only for the United States and Canada).
