About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a breathtaking mission in Kellar's Keep, an expansion that plunges HeroQuest heroes into a new adventure! The Emperor is cornered deep within an ancient dwarven stronghold, and the only hope is to find a secret path known as Grin's Crag. But beware, time is running out, and the enemy only grows stronger. To find the passage, you'll need to piece together Grin's map, scattered in four parts throughout the dark corridors. This expansion includes a quest book with 10 sequential adventures that will test your group's courage and cunning. Additionally, prepare to face new challenges with 17 detailed miniatures, including Orcs, Goblins, and the fearsome Fimirs. New board elements like doors, rolling boulders, spiral passages, and traps will add an extra layer of danger and immersion. If you already enjoy HeroQuest and crave more challenges and an engaging story, Kellar's Keep is the missing piece for your collection, promising hours of fun and epic combat. It's time to save the Emperor and prove you are the heroes this world needs!

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers before you buy
Do I need the original HeroQuest to play Kellar's Keep?

How many people can play this expansion?
Just like the base game, Kellar's Keep is for 2 to 5 players. One player takes on the role of the villain, while the others form the hero team.
Is the Kellar's Keep campaign long?
The expansion includes 10 new quests that should be played sequentially, forming a campaign. The total playtime can vary, but expect around 2 hours per quest, depending on the group.
What new types of monsters come in the box?
Prepare to face 8 Orcs, 6 Goblins, and 3 Fimirs, along with new scenario elements and traps that increase the challenge.
Does the game's complexity change much with this expansion?
The overall complexity remains similar to the original HeroQuest. The new quests add a bit more story and challenges, but the core mechanic of rolling dice and moving stays the same.
Is Kellar's Keep worth buying if I already own other games in the genre?
If you're a fan of HeroQuest and enjoy fantasy adventures with tactical combat and dungeon exploration, Kellar's Keep offers more of the same, with a new and engaging campaign. If you're looking for something completely different, this might not be your primary focus.
