Japanese HeroQuest: Screen Translation
Posted: July 18th, 2021, 10:45 amHi everybody,
After finishing the edition and translation to English of the HeroQuest Japanese Edition's Rulebook, I would like to also do the same with the Japanese Evil Wizard Screen (in fact, in this edition I think it should be better called as Demon King Screen
).
Someone could think that translating the screen could not be necessary since the screen content maybe covered by the already translated rulebook but, I think it could be interesting since I detected in other HeroQuest editions (i.e. Screen of the Spanish Advanced Quest Edition) that the content in the screen includes a little bit more clarifications about traps that are not written in the same way inside the rulebook. Then, I also consider the screen as part of the game rules, which motivates me to try translating it too.
I have not found any scan of the original Japanese screen, the only information I have is the following low-res picture obtained from this old post, which was provided by Derfel Link.
I will try to start working from it since I hope I could extract part of the traps explanation text. Having success will be a challenge due to the poor resolution so, please if anyone could provide a better quality picture of the Japanese screen's back, I will really appreciate having a copy.
