Since when did Heroquest come back, and at a reasonable price? I thought there was just a kickstarter for a several hundred dollar fad.

Are you shitting me? I had to track down a three hundred dollar boxed set on the Internet a few years ago and goddamn near lost a finger in a tangentially related incident, and now they're releasing new copies?

This is bullshit. I could spit on a toddler's lightup shoes and feel nothing when the little bastard started screaming. I hope Milton Bradley gets eaten by Games Workshop and all they find is trace mentions of Operation in the fucking lore for squats.

You'll have to excuse me, I fell out of my old-timey time machine a week ago and I'm still getting my bearings.

Also, fuck Hasbro, too. They could have saved me a lot of grief by doing this years ago.

MB was eaten by Hasbro several years before the original HeroQuest came out. It's been all Hasbro, all the time, with a slight bit of GW in the past that you won't find in the new Avalon Hill branded re-release.

Yes, that's why I said it was Avalon Hill branded. Just an imprint, nothing of what it was left.

Turns out replacing all the enemy minis, door minis, and environmental minis with standees dramatically reduced the price.

Who fucking knew? They should have made heroes and bosses standees too.

Also, it's kinda dumb to throw in with HeroQuest at all. Plenty of other dungeon crawlers exist that play better.

You can always use the figures and/or board with something else if you didn't have minis before.

But if you do have a board or terrain and minis, you might not need to buy what Hasbro is selling at all.

The version in OP's pic doesn't have minis for the enemies outside bosses or terrain pieces outside door standees. So there is no real reason to buy it at all.

If you do want a bunch of minis and interlocking terrain tiles the D&D adventure board games are a much better option and also happen to be much better games.

The joke about Heroquest is that most other board game dungeon crawlers are better, yes.

They don't make hex and chit games anymore so they're not really Avalon Hill-style games.

it's not like they don't make any, mark simonitch is still going strong. panzer north africa, the last hundred yards series, new editions of older games like vietnam 1965-1975, and I'm sure plenty of others.

The genre of wargame isn't dead, but Avalon Hill isn't making them, which was my point anon.
feel more like Hasbro wants to turn Avalon Hill into their own mini GW focused on plastic fantasy games like Hero Quest, Talisman(which they licensed from GW) and Heroscape all getting releases in the last 2 years.
