Ye Olde Inn

I saw someone mention this in passing in one of the older posts, but I can't find any post specifically about Dungeon Quest. I saw it for sale on Ebay and was wondering if anyone here played it at all/much. I see there is an updated version so I must ask, does anyone know if the older version is much different than the newer? Is it fun? I see it has a time limit set on campaigns which intrigues me.

What do you guys think of the minis that come with it? Let me know, thanks.

this is the old version 1985: link
This is the new version 2010: link

The 1985 edition had 2 expansions:
Catacombs and Heroes

Classic hero pieces:

Classic Addon Heroes:


New hero pieces:


Looks like a cool game to me. You get to build dungeons as you go.

I think I like the looks of the classic version better, but I have no idea how the rules were and are now.

Is it just me or would one or two of those original minis make a good Pierre Chancier and Sir Ragnar? Hmm, is there anyone there that would make a good prospector? I'd like to buy both because the new one appears to have a pretty sweet dragon.

Hey! I have one of those minis! The green chaos warrior with the flame-painted sword!

I might need to invest in this game for times when my players want to compete against each other with gnashing of teeth and blood thirst!!

I love that design for the board - with each space being a "room" of its own. The Munchkin Board Game
does the same thing...I've thought about trying to do something like this for heroquest, but since I've
never played a game that uses this design, I am at a loss for how the rules for movement, monsters
and such would work. I haven't had much luck making up my own, so far.

Still working on it in my spare time.

LOL.
This surely brings back some memories......20+ years ago I actually had some of these minis. EXACTLY the same.
The Chaos Warrior with the wolf on his head; the Chaos sorceror, the Chaos Warrior with the big@ss sword and some others definitely strike a chord. The ninja, the checkerboard dude, the dwarf, the ranger and the ogre.....
I believe they all came in a box which I got to use with HQ. I traded them all later (probably for a M.E.R.P. book)
