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—embarking on heroic adventures around the kitchen table in a fraction of the time it takes for a traditional TTRPG session. Its abundance of plastic miniatures, housed within its instantly recognizable box, and its multi-quest storyline captivated a devoted fanbase, whose enduring enthusiasm prompted Hasbro to revive the game via its HasLab crowdfunding platform.

Years after the successful campaign, both veteran and new fans revel in the newly released HeroQuest and its expanding universe of adventures. This buyer's guide helps you plan your own epic battles against the villainous Zargon.
