The new Heroquest board game and the two expansions from the HasLab crowdfunding campaign are here for the holidays- order yours now!
Hasbro Pulse brought back HeroQuest in 2020 as a crowdfunded project, and now they are available for everyone who may not have backed the project originally.
Updated: The good news is that if you missed out on the crowdfunded HasLab project, you can still get the game right now as Hasbro has the base version and all the expansions of the HeroQuest game for sale right now!
Both Amazon and Entertainment Earth have delivery dates in time for the holidays and great pricing to boot! Get yours now from Amazon here or Entertainment Earth here.
Let’s take a look at the project from Hasbro, then at the actual finished product, and show you where to get yours.
New HeroQuest Board Game Arriving & Where To Get Yours
Get It Now For the Holidays!
Originally there were two ways to fund the project. going for the Heroic or Mythic tier release…
The Heroic Tier was the most “basic” package you can get. Although there’s nothing basic about it. The Mythic Tier gave you everything from the Heroic Tier but also unlocks two other expansions. These were originally priced at $99.99 and $149.99 respectively.
Taking a closer look at the Heroic Tier, it includes all of the essential base game content. As well as four bonus heroes and an exclusive mini released as part of the HasLab funding campaign.
The Mythic tier contained everything in the Heroic Tier plus everything that’s set to release in the next two expansions: Kellar’s Keep and Return of the Witch Lord.
HeroQuest Board Game Original Reveal:
While the new box set looked great, the problem with all of this was that we really didn’t know what the game components aka the miniatures were going to look like. These were all the images we had at the time from the Hasbro video.
The team took the big announcement to YouTube and you can watch all of the details that were covered first-hand in case you missed it back in 2020.
HeroQuest is going to have four models/classes to choose from. The Barbarian, the Wizard, the Dwarf, and the Elf. However, unlike the first time this game was released, it looks like Games Workshop isn’t behind these minis.
Check out all of the models, furniture, class cards, game board accessories, etc. all panned out!
Along with the four classes that players can choose from, they also showcased a whole host of mobs that you’ll encounter as well.
The furniture is back in action and is looking insanely detailed!
HeroQuest Mythic Tier Finished Product & Unboxing
Our friend and author Mike Haspil posted up some great finished product shots of his HeroQuest Board game (Mythic Tier) that just arrived.
Can you smell it? I love the smell of cardboard and plastic first thing in the morning!
Show me the HeroQuest Board Game Miniatures!
From the looks of it, nothing has changed from the HasLab crowdfunding project on the outside.
First up, a mini, it’s a bit out of focus for all you camera nerds. It’s good to know Haspil and his fingers are still hobbying… but loads more photos and they get better!!
Look at all the amazing detail! These HeroQuest Board Game miniatures definitely look worth it so far!
The game aides and the terrain look fan-diddly-astic as well.
Look the nostalgia is burning my eyes. Maybe those are just tears…
The Art is great and I personally love it when the mini’s pose matches the artwork, really helps with the submersion.
So, now you may be asking yourself what if you missed out on the Kickstarter? How do you get yours?
eBay has the Mytic Tier HeroQuest Board Game
Well, don’t worry because eBay is here to save the day! Maybe not for the best of prices right now, but Hasbro also just put the base game our for sale seperately for a price that is nice.
Currently, a copy of the new game with all expansions is going for around the $500 mark on the secondary market, down from $700 when they first started delivering.
Chances are these prices will level off as supply hits saturation point. Now if you don’t want to wait for prices to drop you’re in luck!
The HeroQuest board game is now available for purchase even if you missed the campaign directly from Entertainment Earth and Amazon!
Avalon Hill HeroQuest Game System
Available from Amazon, or Entertainment Earth (For delivery in December 2021)
The game itself is just so nostalgic and awesome! For the price you get a ton of stuff, it just looks like the only things you can’t get that were in the project are the extra missions. Still, if you missed out on the initial project, this is just a really cool offering from Hasbro.
Here’s everything you get with the box:
Includes gameboard, 31 monster miniatures, 4 hero miniatures, 15 furniture pieces, 10 skull pieces, 4 plastic rat pieces, 21 dungeon doors, 93 game cards, 4 turn-order cards, cardboard tiles, Quest Book, 4 character cards, Game Master’s screen, pad of character sheets, 6 white combat dice, 2 red dice, and rulebook.
The game comes with 14 quests, and has limitless replayability because players can also build their own quests and create their own stories. Gather friends together for an exciting night of tabletop gameplay in an epic battle of good and evil. The game is for 2-5 players, ages 14 and up.
With so many quests and minis, this will for sure give you tons of play-through and enjoyment! Plus, games like this are always great to get people into the hobby and learn how to play RPGs without as much immersion as a normal game might take.
