About the game
Sharpen your swords and grab your dice, because the elven kingdom is in serious trouble! In HeroQuest: The Mage of the Mirror, danger lurks in the shadows as the diabolical archmage Sinestra plots his next move. This expansion injects a fresh layer of drama and peril that will push any adventuring party to their limits. A unique twist here is the solo start: before joining forces with the rest of the party, a brave elf must navigate through perilous solo quests to find their way back to the group. It's the perfect way to build that epic fantasy tension before the main event begins!

This expansion is packed with high-quality components to elevate your gaming sessions. You get a Quest Book featuring 10 brand-new adventures, 33 finely detailed miniatures that bring the world to life, and 35 game cards that add depth for both the heroes and the game master (Zargon). Whether you are playing a solo campaign or leading a group through a semi-cooperative struggle, this expansion delivers that classic dungeon crawler feel. Just a heads-up: you'll need the base game to play, and since it's an expansion, keep an eye on the language requirements to fully enjoy the narrative richness. It's epic, it's nostalgic, and it's ready for your next tabletop quest!
