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.

7 Destroy Pharaoh Khan!
A one shot quest I made up. If people like it maybe one day I will cook up a multi part quest all within the same structure. This uses just the elements from the base game system, however you will need 2 game systems to play this quest. Only a few elements from the second game system are actually used, so you might be able to play this depending on what extras you have.
