There's nothing better than introducing a whole new generation to HQ. I also think they benefit from the Zen and concentration required for painting minis... Hint hint!

If it's helpful, you can use standard d6 dice for HeroQuest. It's sacrilege here at the Inn, but that system makes almost every other game more accessible. So skulls are 4+, white shields are 5+, and black shields are 6+. This also lets you introduce modifiers.

Welcome!

That's awesome. That's why I'm here too, have the original from back in the day, had 4 quest packs and only played through part of a few before something else took over (probably magic the gathering) and ended up selling 3 packs and keeping the base and 1 pack. Now with kids old enough and a few of us getting re-invigorated by gloomhaven, we need something for the in between times. and Heroquest is a good starter for my 8 year old who is hooked already. I like the idea of getting figures from other games, I'm going to do that too!

I've already spent a few hundred bucks on HQ in addition to my base game so I can "play with my kids" :D

As someone from North Carolina, I disagree completely, but I'll let you have it this time since you're new. :P

I like Texas. I've lived there off an on for about 15 years ... mostly the greater Austin area but also south in Weslaco and on the coast in Houston. Work took me to Nevada and it's been well over a decade since I was in the Lone Star state.

I miss Texas BBQ.

Welcome to the site!

TX BBQ is THE BEST! Thanks for the welcome.

Welcome! I'm glad you got to finally play the game and it's great that you got to enjoy it with your kids.

They've never used dice before. For the Massive Darkness dice, one set has attack, the other defend: all swords, all shields. The two youngest sometimes get that mixed up when rolling for offence and defense, so I figured having offence dice and defense dice would work better.

It's great you have so many figs to play with. I've always liked those Chaos Dwarves (as I know them.) It's even better your kids are interested. Enjoy the ride.
