I call it the gateway drug into RPG gaming. Its concept is simple, the contents are of great quality and it's just amazing how many different ways a Quest can be designed on a static game board. Look for original rules in several languages at www.yeoldeinn.com if you're still wanting to give this classic another go. HeroQuest is a great game. I call it the gateway drug into RPG gaming.

Actually i just found out, through twitter, that the reason why i hated the rules is that in Denmark the rules where changed for the danish translation. Apparently they changed the rules so the target age for the game became lower. So now i am trying to find the original rules so i can try it out...if i ever get my hands on the game again. And yes the new prepainted figures are horrible. I also play Dungeons & Dragons 4th edition, and as part of the "lets make more money" - campaign Wizards of the coast is running, they are now releasing crappy plastic figures for the game. They look like crap, they feel like crap. Its interesting that you say that you like the game.

I loved every minute of it, and spent WAY to mych time painting the figures. It actually makes me cringe today when I see in the stores 'High Quality Hand Painted Figures' from blizzard, and they look like crap, compared to what we were able to paint for Hero Quest, and we were 14-16 years old, lol. Great article, and thanks for reminding me of hero quest. I still have access to it, so I might play one day, but I remember the painting was more fun :) - christian Hi Rasmus
