We played this a lot in college because it was so short and most of us were gamers short on time. Last played with family a couple years ago, but I'll be breaking it out again soon.
I was lucky enough to find the base game and wrath of the witch king for 200 bucks. I thought it was a lot at the time, but now I know I got a pretty good deal on them.
Great video 👍😀 Loved playing this back in the day. From what I can remember, the Ogre Horde expansion also gave rules for the Chaos Sorcerer's spells. Wizards of Morcar then introduced henchmen for the heroes, allowing you to hire crossbowmen, halberds, and a couple of others. White Dwarf even had a couple of adventures. I think one of those introduced Skaven. Great games!
Great video! Over in North America we had the same armory as the UK. The DM screen we had gave a summary of the monsters. I don't think we had the equipment cards though and our first dungeon is The Trial instead of The Maze.
The American version with zargon was considered second edition with changed rules chaos spells for the monsters many more artifacts tougher monsters, the adventures had more monsters in them. the game was called Heroquest Game System. a much harder game
Loved the video. I have all the uk expansion pack. It cost me a lot for the ogre and wizards of morcar expansion . But worth it. You can still get them on ebay.
The new one has the same content which could be a replacement? I dont like the new designed miniatures though. I like the quintness of the original ones :D
The bard would disagree two isn't enough lol.. I remember playing this game back in the day, oh the nostalgia 😀 I remember my mate hold up the Gargoyle the first thing out of my mouth was "that's The Bloodthirster the Greater Daemon of Khorne" the look of confusion from my friend was priceless lol
More copies of hero quest. You want to have so many copies of heroquest people in online forums look at you with glares as if you were trying to corner the market.
Still play this game today!
Elf is the power character.
As soon as he gets the broworad swooard he is amazing
There was the 2nd edition too. The Advanced Quest which came with the men at arms.

Nice of you to add the commercial as well :D Very informative this and nice to see how it all started
Oh and your enthusiasm is fantastic :D Happy like a kid in a candystore it seems :P
Haha yep, it was a fun video to do, the let's play coming soon is great too. This game was my gateway to the hobby

I'm slowly getting hold of the white Dwarf issues and may make my own version of the ogre horde. I have the components in pdf form.

Ah thanks for the info about the differences. I wasn't 100%.
Love this game now my kids play it
I love it!
Thank you

I will try to track down a copy of that version!
@@TheBattlinBarrowGaming The box lid had game system written under the word Heroquest
@@TheBattlinBarrowGaming i think the new copy of heroquest by Avlon hill is the us version
I laughed at the part where you doubted this would ever get a rerelease, since I listened to this while painting my rerelease models.
Haha Yes I think what we have learnt from this is to not come to me to predict the future.

Thanks. I think next year I will try to track those down to complete my HQ collection :D
Cool vid thnx. 21.99 for game and 6.99 per expansion.... wow!!! Wonder if I cam get these for same price now on eBay lol.
If only haha
I lost my Hero Quest years ago. I absolutely kick myself over it all the time.
The new one has the same content which could be a replacement? I dont like the new designed miniatures though. I like the quintness of the original ones :D
@@TheBattlinBarrowGaming I liked the original one a lot. Back before board games cost 125 bucks
I named my Orc Warlock on Wow "Morcar".
BRODE SWODE!
Wish I could afford a copy of this.
I had one copy since childhood and I got another in the early 2000s when they weren't that expensive.
@@TheBattlinBarrowGaming somehow I missed when they rereleased it.
The bard would disagree two isn't enough lol.. I remember playing this game back in the day, oh the nostalgia 😀 I remember my mate hold up the Gargoyle the first thing out of my mouth was "that's The Bloodthirster the Greater Daemon of Khorne" the look of confusion from my friend was priceless lol
It was years later (and I mean only a few years ago) that I first saw a Bloodthirster model and said "Thats the Heroquest Gargoyle!"
@@TheBattlinBarrowGaming Hahahahaha. Still an iconic miniture
The price on this game now lol
Silly prices now, I feel really lucky to get this when I did for the price I paid
Were they all painted like that in the UK? My US set has them in just monochrome.
No I painted them myself
I just have the one copy. but great review my man😊
Also sensing some bardicbroadcasts influence in the way you act and speak
Yeah wasn't planned. If I redid this video I would make sure that didn't happen. There can be only one bard.
Nah you need the 1989, 1990 dark company and the American game system
More copies of hero quest. You want to have so many copies of heroquest people in online forums look at you with glares as if you were trying to corner the market.
This is so poor don’t give up your day job the bard you are definitely not very cringe worthy
Thanks for the wonderful comment...
