About the game

What you do in a play session

HeroQuest Advanced Quest Edition, released in 1990, is the expanded version of the classic HeroQuest that has delighted generations of miniature RPG fans. The game keeps the game‑master structure, where one player controls the dungeon, revealing corridors and traps as the team of heroes moves forward. Each player chooses one of four classes – wizard, elf, dwarf or barbarian – and receives a set of colorful miniatures representing their character and gear. The adventure unfolds on a modular board that can be rearranged each game, ensuring that no experience is the same. In addition to the board pieces, the game includes combat dice, ability cards and resource tokens, all easy to handle thanks to the medium‑sized miniatures. The Advanced Quest expansion adds 12 new black guard miniatures, four types of removable weapons, and the most exciting, the 13‑part adventure “The Dark Company,” which introduces new enemies, challenges and secrets to explore. Playtime averages around 90 minutes, ideal for weekend sessions or group nights. While the game is approachable, it requires a dedicated master and a solid grasp of combat rules and dice rolls. For those seeking a cooperative experience with engaging narrative and a good dose of tactical strategy, HeroQuest Advanced Quest Edition remains a timeless classic that blends board‑game nostalgia with the thrill of miniature RPG.
