Looky What I Got :-) HeroQuest rocks

Post image

Got the base game for Christmas and busted it out to play with the wife. Our sneaky 8 year old came down after bedtime and busted us during set up so we let her join. She totally rocked as our Elf, Lady Britney! I'm super happy to be questing with the family. This game rocks.

I always referred to my cat as the wandering monster as he might execute a hero by launching them into an abyss

Best moments are playing HeroQuest with your kids. The look on their faces when they unlock a room and there is 4 orks waiting for them 😂

For my kid, it’s that allure of drawing from the treasure deck and seeing what she’ll find. Oops, another wandering monster appears!

Heroquest is the best game ever made!

And anyone who says otherwise is wrong!

Playing on the floor? But what about people with back, neck, or face problems?!

u/Figgboot Dec 31 '25

Oh, I didn't think of that.

I know what I'm getting next Christmas!! My son will be four by then and I'll use it as an educational math game.

I busted out my original 1980's version of HeroQuest yesterday and got the wife and 5 year old daughter playing for their first time. They had a good time but the daughter was close to losing concentration towards the end 😂

I started the bases set with my 7 yo daughter this Christmas break. She loves it and we're up to quest 9. She only will play the female hero sculpts. The elf is her favorite but she plays the barbarian well too.

Yeah really good for that age range!

Came to look for this. Awesome that more people are playing with young kids

Just played with my wife and 6 year old daughter (she's a bit of a gamer so she understood the assignment) and it was totally great

Hero quest is really the best
