HeroQuest Advanced Quest (1990) from Milton Bradley is the expansion edition of the dungeon game that introduced many people to roleplaying-style adventures. One player acts as game master, revealing the maze-like dungeon piece by piece as the others wander in. Up to four players take on a wizard, elf, dwarf or barbarian and head out on fantasy quests. Plastic miniatures and doll-house style furniture make it very approachable. This Advanced Quest edition is also known under the German name HeroQuest Master Edition and adds twelve black guard miniatures. It is not the 2020 reissue. Two to five players, around an hour and a half.

Who it's for

You want a fantasy dungeon crawl with minis, a game master and a group ready for a longer evening.

Not for you if…

You want a fully cooperative game with no game master, or you hate dice-heavy fights.

Vibe's take

Classic dungeon fun. The game master plays the dungeon, the heroes split the loot and the danger, and the dice give each fight a little drama.
