“Just the other month I was playing in the local international poker tournament” Every line in this video is a gem

[@michaelbrennan6596]

I first got this game when I was 14 in 1991. I got it as my "big" Christmas gift. It was the commercial that got me, and I begged my parents for it. After boxing day I convinced four of my friends in my apartment complex to play it with me. We played for three days straight, and when we got kicked out of apartments by one of our parental sets because we were making too much noise, we went and played in the top stairwell of the building. The stairwell was dark and creepy and had this weird red carpeting. We had our flashlights and played in the dimness of the stairwell. After we had played though it and I could find no one else to play it with me again, I painted all miniatures. I didn't play it again until my 20's, when I told a new group of friends all about it. I pulled it out of my closet and they were impressed with my paint job. We had a blast. Faster forward nearly 10 years and I'm now starting my career as high school English teacher. I started the games club (literally as an excuse to get someone the play heroquest with me) and the club went off. I had a blast introducing the game to the students. I left my game board in one of the classroom closets, and because life moves quickly I forgot all about it. I got married and found another teaching position and left the school, but I had left my heroquest game board and all my painted figures behind, forgetting all about it. I went back years later and it was gone. Just this week I spent way too much money and bought a complete set on ebay. It arrived today. The nostalgia hit me hard. Tonight, with my wife and three kids (ages 13-8) we're going to play. I love this dang game.

[@BardicBroadcasts]

[@MorXtarS]

I'm here starting the new year of 2025 rewatching this video, why? cause this is the best boardgame review of all time, beats anything The Dice Tower, Shut up and Sit Down or any others have ever accomplished. As a professional game designer myself i think of this video often, to inspire this passion and dedication that this game gave you and thus you gave to everyone else. Thanks for this video I will keep on coming back to it and hope that sometime in the future, someone, will make a video similar to this, with the passion and love, for the games I've made. But until then, this is inspiring.

[@BardicBroadcasts]

You're welcome, and thank you for the fine words :)

[@zoty12]

I keep coming back to this on hard times to lift my spirit. Thank you hero quest!

[@BardicBroadcasts]

Aye! May it always be there for ye.

[@onlynameMrBlank]

This is the best video about HeroQuest ever made, and anyone who says otherwise is wrong!

[@sunnyjim1355]

Yet I'm still none the wiser about why it's apparently so good. 🤷‍♂️

[@josephwallace352]

With all the jokes aside it was a simple game that had great sculptures and 3D cardboard furniture with about 12 dungeons that were all different. Characters could upgrade a few equipments but the stats basically stayed the same. It had a lot of physical charm and mystery elements to it. The original price I think ranged from 20-40 dollars so it had quite a bit of equipment for its price at the time. Today a game with the same things cost much more. It was a real good way for those not looking to be overwhelmed by hundreds of rules in.a RPG setting but sill get a great dungeon slashing experience.

I think he's much more of a dwarf because I really get the sense that he enjoys cleaving his foes with two-handed weapons and men celebrating with a large mug of ale upon his bountiful earned treasure

[@drakemagnus9846]

@@zipzeolocke2 I’ve got an idea: Dwarf Wizard

[@zipzeolocke2]

@@drakemagnus9846 By the gods that put a crazy idea in my mind! If you were to add up the HP of all 4 heroes in hero quest to create 1 super human class hero to play the game solo. I would probably limit him/her to the amount of attack dice of the dwarf for some balance. But yeah that would have been easier for me to manage than it was me having to manage all 4 heroes current health concerns.

The Best Thing about Hero Quest is this Bardic Broadcast 🖤

[@leonard8510]

We need more classic game "reviews" and cracking unboxings like this in our lives. This is the most brilliant video I have watched in months.

[@BardicBroadcasts]

I very much appreciate that, Leonard.

[@leonard8510]

I wish you great success and look forward many more fantastic videos after this unprecedented new exposure you have received. Plus, for all the love I've had for GW over the years, I still love seeing them comedicly bashed constantly.

[@rendervisionfinland5748]

I have watched this roughly 57 times during the past week. Pure brilliance, and facts only. Heroquest is the best game ever. Also, the best thing about Heroquest is the shop board that is probably forgotten in Europe... (atleast it dont appear in the Finnish edition, but US version I have has it)

[@LezardValeth-nn2gl]

thanks for the best quest for adventure games.

[@Milkymalk]

I thought I knew the differences between the US version and the European one, but what do you mean with "shop board"?

[@NerdOutWithMe]

I come back to watch this every few months. Never fails to make me laugh.

[@poursperfectpints]

Rejoice! A remake was announced by Avalon Hill! And even if it's trash, I'm assuming there will be an unboxing video!

The best part about HeroQuest is pounding the table with your fist. Losing the battle against evil? NO SIR! Turn the tables by flipping the table and live to fight another day.

[@KevinVideo]

Hero Quest is what got me into D&D. We weren't able to find many people who wanted to play so I usually ended playing all of the characters. The guy who owned the game, also bought the elf's expansion pack. I was never able to play the other one. Always wanted to, but as kids we just couldn't afford it.
