Description Edit | History

HeroQuest is Milton Bradley's approach to a Dungeons & Dragons-style adventure game. One player acts as game master, revealing the maze-like dungeon piecemeal as the players wander. Up to four other players take on a character (wizard, elf, dwarf, or barbarian) and venture forth into dungeons on fantasy quests. Miniature plastic characters and doll-house style furniture make this game very approachable. Expansions were also released for this system.

The HeroQuest series consists of the main game and a number of expansions.

This game was made in cooperation with Games Workshop who designed the miniatures and helped in many of the production details including background fluff and art in the rule book and scenario book.

5 HQ Character Sheets 2up
This is based off (and uses the art from) the full page UK version, but I added a lot more detail, including pips for potions, a full weapon listing, and whatnot. One has all the weapons and should be used for the warrior/dwarf/elf, and the other one only includes items usable by the wizard.
