Set up your group for freeThe pack lands in the relaunched HeroQuest line that Hasbro and Avalon Hill resurrected in 2021, after the original 1989 cult classic hit eBay prices that made eyes water. It needs the base HeroQuest Game System (or HeroQuest First Light) to play, and the central conceit revives the Wizards of Morcar, the realm's most powerful spellcasters pressed into Zargon's service, for a fresh dose of Dread Magic.
Inside the box you get 27 detailed plastic miniatures, including a Wizard hero, a hulking Minotaur, a Necromancer, a Storm Master and assorted Swordsmen, Crossbowmen and Halberdiers, plus 64 game cards, a quest book and tile sheets. The campaign mixes 5 quests reworked from the original 1991 Wizards of Morcar booklet with 5 brand-new ones, so long-time fans get nostalgia and newcomers get a self-contained run.
Run game nights? Backseat Gamer handles RSVPs, waitlists, date polling, and game voting so you can focus on playing.
Start organising for freeHero spellcasters now choose between three new spell sets and can summon magical barriers of ice, flame or stone. Proper dungeon crawl flavour, not just a stat bump. Five Sorcerer adversaries each bring their own spell decks, which makes evil casters feel distinct rather than reskinned.
At $49.99 (around £40 in UK shops) it's the chunkiest expansion the modern line has produced, and a decent excuse to dust off your base set. UK gamers can grab it from Amazon UK and most good board game shops. If your group hasn't picked HeroQuest back up since the relaunch, this is the prompt to schedule a session. Find a group near you on Backseat Gamer and put a quest night on the calendar.
