Heroquest remake by Hasbro - The BIG discussion thread

[Kurgan]

So I wonder is the bonus [fake] "Mentor" [actually Zargon] figure meant to be an alternate for the Wizard? Since he gets a "Wizard Hero card."

The team mentioned in the stream that they are giving us a wizard player Stats card with the image of the mentor mini on in case we wanted to substitute it in for the normal mini

Ok. I didn't watch the stream.

I finally got my pledge in today for two copies at the Mythic Tier, here's hoping we reach $1.8m tomorrow and $2m within a week after that. would leave us almost a month to see how far we can pump this up!

I debate getting a second one multiple times a day. So torn on this.

The wife's not happy with getting one, she definitely wouldn't be happy with two.

So the real question is, do I want to just be dead, or really dead.

Yeah,My wife wants to know why I need another copy of “The same DAMN game?”
She is not feeling this a month before Christmas....lol
This is truly a hard sell.

Explain that you need the four boards to re-create the "Dark Company" adventure (with the Ragnars serving as mercenaries and the sorcerer/witch lord as dark warriors).

Well i hope this warlock business is the only PC-ness that wormed its way into the game......

Looking at the twitter bio of the creator of the warlock I fear the worst.
Add that to the raceswapping of the dwarf (for diversity reasons I guess) and the butch female orcs....

So I just looked and...you’re right. Oh lord.

To be fair, the original Dwarf didn't look very Norse to me... (granted the other artwork he's lighter skinned, see also Kellar's Keep artwork). You get to paint 'em how you want 'em!

I wonder how the Gargoyle manages to fight with two weapons when one of them is created for two-handed use. The digital sculptor has created a combat oxymoron! Maybe somebody at Hasbro will realize the error, but considering the ridiculous size of the Dwarf's Battle Axe, I somehow doubt it will matter to them.

On a more positive note, I hope Mercenaries are fitted into the stretch goals, whether as part of an expansion or separately. They are an important part of higher-level play.

He's the god damn gargoyle! He grows out of rocks and scares dwarves of the cliffs of Karak Varn! I think he can handle that axe

That being said, I'd wish they had given him his iconic Whip...

Naw, he doesn't need a whip.
I already have gargoyles with whips.
Now I'll have one with an axe!
More/Different gargoyles. Hooray!!

I am soooo much right there with you on this one. I found myself pushing buttons with my credit card in my lap ready to add that 2nd game.
But at the same time, I tell myself that I can probably get it for cheaper down the road through retail (no shipping anyway), and I'll already have all the 'crowdfunder exclusives' from the single set that I'm getting. Still haven't pulled the trigger on getting a 2nd copy.

I almost wish they would do add-ons like a KS. I want more doors.

Finally reading up on the Stephen Baker quest sounds like it will be more than one quest in a pack. Not bad.

looks nice

I just read it again, too. It mentions questS multiple times, so that's a good sign! I wish they would just say how many.
