And thats why HeroQuest is the best game ever made. Oh, No. Mormons...

[@Ubermensch9240]

No worse! Fundamentalists! ●□●

[@therealoneeighth]

THE BRODE SODE

[@ThroatSore]

Look at the msculaaaaaaarity!

[@russwaddel08]

I have begun to replace all my furniture with Hero Quest furniture

[@MetalHeadbanger7]

Even worse, Jehovah's witnesses.

[@Dave96939]

"the best thing about HeroQuest..."

[@magnoliamike]

Đävïđ I just seen that weird-o’s video lol what a koot

[@p3l1k44n1]

@Lord Grime The girl in red. Man. That's a girl you'd plow hard.

[@Dooger414]

I'm here for the "Brodesode"

[@justinw947]

brodesode!

[@VinceVegas6]

I choose the Brodesode!

[@crossy28]

i was disappointed that they didn't play the gravity land map....

[@captaincokecan]

The best thing about hero quest is the brodesode

[@sabbathguy1]

Time code for "Brodesode" please, I somehow watched it all and managed to miss it =/

[@CinKaiDRocks]

I will never forget the first time I opened my newly bought Hero Quest game as a kid! The atmosphere it presented from the dark art style and all the minis and furniture has never been surpassed by any other board game. Figuring out the rules as a little kid in Denmark was a little hard though :) Very well made video guys! Love that you took your time to create atmosphere and graphics. Good job.

[@Nerdiac]

I felt exactly the same way, I was 8 years old, 1990 24th of December. Merry Christmas!

[@justinstuart8382]

+Graviel yeah I got bought this for Xmas 1990 too, i was 14 played it for years with my bro. Guess what Xmas 2015, my mum clears out her loft, guess what she pulls out. Hero Quest all expansions and even Advanced Hero Quest! All pieces there except one thing. All the figures are missing:/ We've looked everywhere, I think as an older teen i put them all in another box. Box is nowhere to be seen although the family remember seeing it onlyseveral years ago...beeen on ebay gutted the figures cost a bomb and would be like £100 to replace them all!

[@tarron3237]

And the scent! The scent of new tabletop game boxes. It's one of a kind. Even old boxes emanate enough of it to instantly bring up memories. Good memories.

[@edge6441]

I can completely relate i got mine on my 8th birthday i wont forget the feeling opening the box seeing all the crazy awesome artwork and story of the game i used to play this with my older sister such fun times..btw its getting a re-release!

[@Pumpestok]

(also dane here) I was 8 in 1990 when I got it for christmas. Never understood the rules and just played with the figures for years until the game was unfortuatly lost somehow. I were reminded of the game a week ago and the nostalgia is overwhelming - I'm gonna snipe a good condition old game from 1990 so my 3 kids and mostly myself can play it. 😃

[@MarcSola7]

The best thing about HeroQuest is that it's making a comeback in 2021 -2022.

[@kitsunekei]

Adorable bunny, *flips the dice* symbol of imortal evil

[@JeremyNoblitt]

"The best thing about Hero Quest is MORE Hero Quest!"

[@puzzud]

Ack! HeroQuest 101: Don't open a million doors until you've cleared all the previously opened rooms.

[@mattjulson8070]

For people looking to play this game again: check out Tabletop Simulator (on Steam). I've seen a lot of Heroquest games on there.

[@cukipancakes]

Matt Julson Thaaaank youuu for this information. :D

[@FF2Guy]

There is a PC version of this game as well.

[@PeterParker-vq2cz]

opening steam now...i sure hope this is true.....

[@sir_ladykiller1803]

Is there multiplayer? If not are there any online tabletop games? I've never played before because I don't know anyone that's into it

[@GingaKid729]

how do you only have 153 subs dude this is such a high quality video

[@pitprincexx1137]

I think he died

[@Moneyalmenial]

only three videos :(

[@AndyTomlins]

He got laid

[@inusberard5686]

One of my favorite games ever. I still have my old copy and will be bringing it to the local "Gamers Guild" that we have every month at my city's local library.

[@marcmarti5273]

"look at that... muscularity"

[@hethdavid]

I remember buying my own copy of HeroQuest when I was 10 years old. Walmart had a bunch of them in the Clearance section for $5.00 each. Wish I had bought them all (really didn't have the money or foresight at that age though :)

[@Brastius]

We definitely went greed mode the last time I played this game. I was just wandering around, trying to help out as the dwarf, and the greedy barbarian (my college roommate) kept going for the chest. He wound up dying just about every game, and since I was in the room at the time, I got all his stuff. My dwarf retired with a magic suit of armor and a very nice axe.

[@choo4171]

This was excellent! Thanks dude! I played hero quest many years ago and loved it. i spent many hours painting all the figurines in fine detail in my early teens. dude, u have done me a service that you wouldn't believe. thanks man :)

[@OmnificentAspirations]

It's nice to find a Heroquest playthrough video that isn't strictly a sausage fest. 90% of them at least on youtube are 5 guys playing.

[@christmas6666]

the best thing about Hero Quest is... the box art!

[@johnsalvi2273]

Painted by the great Les Edwards?

[@MinscFromBaldursGate92]

The best thing about HeroQuest Is....that it's set in the world of Warhammer.

[@Dueville7777]

I chose the dwarf because..umm they're short".

[@grimmblade]

It was the axe.

[@oswaldcobblebot]

This is great! I wish there were more videos like this! Thank you for making it! Very informative and entertaining - you guys are great group with good sense of humor!

[@Jeffs40K]

Interesting keyhole House Rule, I would Use this House Rule though, Players Order is determined by them each round, so that they don't block each other off, Zargon can move his Monsters in any order it is only fair players can as well, but they most do there full turn moves and actions then the next guy till all 4 have completed there turn.

[@IgnatzKolisch]

Wow! No idea how I came across this video at random, but glad I did. Used to love this game as a kid. I think the general concept has been done in more recent years much better, but Hero Quest was maybe the last board game I ever played, so I haven't tried the supposedly-better ones. Hero Quest remains the best board game I've personally ever played!

[@thexsoar]

Fantastic production value for a 7 years old video! Now I just need to see the sequel.

[@dansun1981]

I really appreciate that such a great gem of a boardgame like HerQuest gets this kind of love!

[@GypsyLeah]

What a stupid house rule. Whether a monster can move or not is dependent on whether it's revealed or not. Your house rule means you have to ignore core rules. The game is already designed and balanced for heroes not knowing what's in a room before they open the door. Your change also means you have to manually remember which monsters have been activated.

[@Trevin_Taylor]

GypsyLeah if the monsters are in a room with a closed door (rather than open doors) then they aren't active. problem solved.

[@GypsyLeah]

Trevin Taylor WTV man

[@Trevin_Taylor]

GypsyLeah what do you mean WTV. you said you'd have to "manually remember" what monsters are active. I've shown that's not the case. you had a problem, I've given you the solution, and that has upset you somehow? i think you meant to type "oh" or even "thanks".

[@GypsyLeah]

WTV = watch the video

[@Trevin_Taylor]

QuickStrike0065 there was no agree or disagree, it was "watch the video".

[@jazzbrownie0]

The slow pacing of the start of the game really wasn't helped by the constant cuts to single perspective comments that failed to add anything meaningful to the game.

[@stephen876]

I know, what's the point if no one is interested in the atmosphere of the lore? These people might as well go play monopoly

[@mike197714]

When I’m watching this video now. My eyes roll back of my head. As if I’m receiving a wonderful brain massage.👈🏻Basically it just feels good to sit and watch. See this group of ppl over come the adventure.

[@cdnslacker1]

Paint. Your. Minis!

[@TheWeekendGeek]

The production quality on this is really good :)

[@Jetwolf]

I too would pick the dwarf because he is short. Well played sir :p

[@klauszoidberg999]

brilliant letsplay. Looks like you guys and gals had alot of fun :)

[@grievingsage1899]

Bravo! Loved this game as a youth, and love to watch this lets play. Wish I could relive those times when I played.

[@mrdante361]

Outstanding presentation man. Played half way through the game before my friends lost contact with each other.

[@dragonlandstudios]

I like that house rule of peeping through a closed door. I'll use that sometime when I play HeroQuest. Thanks for inspiring me.

[@superspecky4eyes]

In my house we had a rule where you could "listen" at the door, it led to some fun improvised sound effects.

[@ArtKidTV]

best board game ever

[@magnoliamike]

For only 400+ subs the production seems legitimate along with the good editing

[@AndreasNicklasson]

Ah yes, "The Trial". The quest that was mistranslated in the Swedish edition to have no win-con, I remember it well... We usually skipped it.

[@russellgardner5485]

Loved this, I felt like I was an epic version of the bachelor or something lol

[@krisjeneson5017]

Ladies first guys when choosing your hero... tut tut .. love this game , my childhood , great vid !

[@popixel]

This was such a neat idea for a channel, I'm sad to see that it only made it to 3 episodes.

[@nexus1g]

Doesn't the wizard get a staff that can attack diagonally?

[@TwoBitWriter]

Not at the start, but they can buy one between quests.

[@captaincosmo6157]

How can he be serious about that house rule?!?! First off, who say's they have a keyhole in them? I know the majority of dorrs, modern or medieval don't! Also, doesn't that screw with the play of the game? There is no risk of opening a door if you know some of what's on the other side! Done with this video.

[@Mike-ky9jz]

I feel like the monsters need an extra body point since you rarely roll a defend shield for them....

[@lordnmaster2]

Here for the MUSCULARITEE

[@mrshiftingparadigm]

nice to TSG back in front of a camera

[@marcoglara2012]

Come on dungeon master, give them some theater. Describe the ambience for the love of Christ

[@PersianImm0rtal]

This is a pleasure to watch! Hope for more Hero Quest episodes!

[@timd4524]

I'm just curious as to what happened to the treasure cards. Basically it cuts off the chance of finding treasure and items to help. It also reduces chance encounters to zero. Having to not open a door in order to see what's inside is kind of a cheat also. Video was very well done. Was enjoyable to watch. The group as a whole was fun to watch also. I've tried different rules for the die rolling myself and found that keeping it the way it is works best for gameplay. Hope to catch more videos.

[@lovernatz]

@Andrew Smith it is not part of the rules at all. The only part that changes in the first quest is there is no traps or secret doors to be found. Not sure why they skipped out on treasure cards, in fact the wandering monster in the first quest (which you find in treasure cards) is an Orc stated at the bottom on the page

[@lovernatz]

@Andrew Smith spells cards removed also makes the Wizard completely useless lol 😂

[@timothy790110]

this id very good, i cant believe its 9 years old! I would have guessed a year tops.

[@justinstuart8382]

I got bought this for Xmas 1990 too, i was 14 played it for years with my bro. Guess what Xmas 2015, my mum clears out her loft, guess what she pulls out. Hero Quest all expansions and even Advanced Hero Quest! All pieces there except one thing. All the figures are missing:/ We've looked everywhere, I think as an older teen i put them all in another box. Box is nowhere to be seen although the family remember seeing it only several years ago...been on Ebay gutted the figures cost a bomb and would be like £100 to replace them all!

[@Woodkin007]

New board released baby! So much better quality. Must buy.

[@redwarcube]

WOW nice work dude! I just got my cope of Ebay, and i cabt what to play with my kids im 35 now but i had this game when i was 14 i hope they love it as much i did.

[@naughtyboy4655]

Just bought this for £99 two days ago. Had to get it lol

[@putonghua73]

Purchased Nov 23 around £75 on Amazon. Wanted a dungeon crawler to play with my Little Man (7 1/2). Vast majority are too complicated. Was considering Zombiecide when HQ came to my attention: - Dungeon Crawler? Check - Good minis / pieces? Check - Easy ruleset? Check What I didn't realise HQ had was a big community that still supported the game through providing Advanced Rules, additional rulesets (Imperial Academy et al) In essence, HQ starts off as a basic ruleset with lots of scope for modularity. The community has play tested the heck out of home rules, hence there is a wealth of additional rules to incorporate if you do desire.

[@CaptainCodeMonkey]

They say imitation is the highest form of flattery. Well, Mr. Wheaton should be very flattered with this video.

[@MattDonaldsonLive]

Here I am watching years after this was posted because of the re-release

[@tallyhoRolfa]

Thumps up !

[@Christopher-N]

(2:56) _"I chose the dwarf... because... their short."_ -- Gio Nasser So, not because of the trap disarming, then? *O.o*

[@Yesnog05]

Look at the *muscularity!*

[@DarthRic_]

If they search a room for treasure and there is no special treasure they are supposed to draw a treasure card

[@Ubermensch9240]

"I chose the Dwarf, uh, because they're short." Being part Mexican I respect that. *^*/

[@SlowDaddie]

2014? Why am i only seeing this now? Nice to see TSG back making content again! Is this the new TableTop?! :)

[@joshwomack1954]

Watching groups play games is usually annoying. This is a great video.

[@robertricobaldi7781]

I could have enjoyed the heroquest game better, if it wasn't so dark. The overhead shots looking down on the board was hard to see any detail. I think that the viewer could have enjoyed the video better, if you had more light on the board. Perhaps tea candles, and bringing the camera angle to table level. Yeah I know, everyone is a Critic. I enjoyed the game, thanks.

[@sir_ladykiller1803]

This is crazy cool lol I've never played table top because I don't have nerd friends just people I play online with I want to find people so bad

[@Jeffs40K]

Rule Corrections: You can Not check for treasures, Chest or by Searching room as Long as there is any Monsters in the room ... when searching a room there is Nothing in Senario book, you draw from treasure Deck, and the Brunette is a Hot gamer girl 8)

[@Tedzee8]

To make the game a little more realistic. When they move, I play as if heroes take some space to one another. Going through one friend is 2 squares and not one. If they move, they cannot turn back or it's considered as an action.

[@ZahhibbDev]

The only thing missing from this video is the Bard from BardicBroadcasts recollecting the adventures of his past, and narrating these fellow adventurers saga.

[@wot-not]

"back in the day" I used to play this game a lot. Watching this now I'm like WTF is going on ?

[@JacintoDeSousa-bq2wp]

More Heroquest!

[@abbythegreatd6262]

The skull, shield, and sword on the table reminds me of the Skull Knight from Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance.

[@Tovenaar13]

Cool. The good ole days!

[@Splatterpunk_OldNewYork]

The greatest boardgame ever made....

[@Awoken_Remmuz]

Oh no! Mormons! * places a heroquest door*

[@morbode]

"Let's do this guy, then I'll come behind you." - subscribed... Until I realized you havent posted in 7 years :(

[@benmerk4086]

Why not more of this? I feel like you have a good style, good set, but only 3 episodes ever and several years apart?

[@ryanlake7825]

I believe the characters move in order, Barb, Elf, Dwarf, Mage, and I am pretty sure in the instructions you can not pass through heroes, but I could be wrong.

[@michaelcapone175]

The manual states you can choose whatever order the heroes take their turns in, but once your order is set you cannot change until the next quest. The manual does suggest that if you are new to the game you should use barb, dwarf, elf, wizard; but it is only a suggestion. A hero can also move through another hero, but they can't share the same tile of another hero.

[@spacegaiden]

man i LOVED this game as a teenager. the only flaw with this video is you did not read the game intro!!! you are supposed to read the passage at the beginning of the game!! haha great video thanks for making this :)

[@julianwarren7770]

I saw this as a kid, and some friends had older brothers who had it, but I never played it 😥 Always wanted to, but buying a complete set seems to be around £120! Unless you luck out and spot a copy in a charity shop!

[@TimChuma]

I had this game and a lot of the expansions. Even made some of my own missions.

[@daoyang5988]

Hero quest deal with a devil!

[@PeterParker-vq2cz]

2:33 i've seen this look before.....its the look of someone who puts up with our "stuff" :P

[@OliverMillin]

Really well produced Tristan! I had this game as a kid. LOVED IT... Why oh why did I trash it. :'-( I will have to look up another copy - guess it is kids like me that made it so rare!! lol .

[@Safersephiroth777]

Do you know how many games we have played with my friends? How many quests we have made? With costum rules though because we didn't liked some of the default ones. Ah the memories...

[@Safersephiroth777]

Also amazing video. I don't understand how so many stupid people with stupid content have so many subs while you are amazing and you barely have anything.

[@sargemooseriders6338]

Tristan Gregson is a really cool name. you bastard, my name sounds like a god damn "yawn" from a distance. too many damn vowels linked together that make "awwwfhhh" sound

[@erinweatherly6539]

Now that’s production

[@Docktavion]

Great set up and game play. Shame you guys didn't carry the channel on.

[@malicerising5569]

I had this when I was a kid but i was too young to learn the game so me and my siblings would just play with the figurines lol.

[@lostcolonyofkekkoslovakia9451]

”I agree”

[@socat9311]

Felt bit like a real time big bang theory episode 😁

[@SH3Bstanko6]

God I love this game! Me and my son play it now!

[@marcoglara2012]

Oh wow, I can see that table top with Josh Wheaton took a lot from this .

[@WarBoy87]

oooo I'm gonna paint those minis so goood!

[@dragonmartijn]

You don't have to roll dice if there are no enemies... Beginners.

[@vankook]

I don't share any of the monster information with the players in the first round. I like to surprise them when the chaos warrior picks up 4 dice.

[@BleepingRelics]

Good production values.

[@XthegreatwhyX]

Nice video, good host.

[@philcorrigan5641]

They actually start playing the game around 5 minutes into the video... 🙄

[@marcoglara2012]

Come on dungeon master, add some goddamn ambience to this. Give them some theater for the love of God

[@Kiddomike]

I would like to suggest to move the skull, shield and sword at the background because you would want the viewers to focus on the game board instead of these three. I understand it adds mood to the game but it will still serve its purpose if they are in the background. In my opinion it'll be better instead of having a dark / black background. By the way, nice to have you back, TSG!

[@POLANIMANN]

Thank you for your feedback

[@DippNDots]

When did Seth MacFarlane start plying HeroQuest? Jokes aside it was really great to see this game again, I might have to brush off the dust and try something similar with some friends.

[@VictorTheComputerGuy]

I agree with the moving of the skull, shield, and sword. Nice props, but kind of distracting.

[@POLANIMANN]

Thank you for your feedback

[@JrrrNikolaus]

Wish they had stuck with the name Morcar for the evil Wizard, Zargon sounds like a Saturday morning cartoon villain name.
