Heroquest remake by Hasbro - The BIG discussion thread

[Kurgan]

Hmm... so these Knights are called "Hero Collection," again is that implying there are going to be other entries in this "Collection"?

Maybe as covertnerd suggested, they'll be releasing other mini packs of components over time, if this thing sells of course.

The Dwarf is an expert craftsman? I guess that's a reference to his trap disarming ability (as opposed to his disarming charm) or it may refer to his expertise in craft beers...

Trailer on youtube (sample) for the App

Looks like its for GooglePlay and Apple App store (no desktop version?).

This site has pictures of the cards.

Six are gendered-art copies of each of the three abilities (Stalwart, Shield Block and Knight's Challenge).
Two are presumably the character cards.
Two are Shortsword and Shield.
The other two might be gendered-artwork copies of Shortsword and Shield, not sure (the art of all four is covered up).

Either way, best guess is there's two each of Shortsword and Shield, so two people can play the Knight at once and have all their starting references.

Ah, so in that case, maybe there's no worry about power level, if they each only have the equivalent of three spells (more like pre-sent combat cards... skills less magic).

Since this is public and pre-release, it would seem to be kosher to post... (from the link you cited above)
Interesting, and nice to see they aren't just repeats of already existing abilities.

So basically, block one hit intended for another hero ("next to you"... adjacent only or same room/corridor?).... come back from the dead with 1 BP... and force wandering monster to attack you instead of the person who turned it up (in the same room). Each used once per quest and all but the last one require you to hang onto your shield to use them.

You've cleared up the mystery... if the remaining 2 cards are hero cards and then there are two copies each of the equipment they have (shortsword and shield).

Hey, look at that, they'll ship to Canada! This is the first retailer that I've seen so far, offering the Knight Guardian pack that will ship to Canada. Gamestop Canada only has the Game System available for preorder.

I just need to find one that ships to the UK now.

[Kurgan]

So $125.99 for the retail release through gamestop for the US. A bit pricey for the GameSystem only, but it's something at least.

From what I heard, the knight expansion is a GameStop exclusive - I don't know dorksidetoys.com, is it legit? Aren't they breaching the Gamestop exclusivity?

[Nlinindoll]

Not a Gamestop exclusive here in the USA (perhaps in Canada). It's also being sold by Entertainment Earth: https://www.entertainmentearth.com/prod ... es/hsf5903

[Blayze]

Looks like https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/ ship to the UK.
If I can't find somewhere based here that offers the pack, this is going to have to be how I get it.

[nathanielz]

wow - in that case dorksidetoys is cheaper than buying from gamestop for us canucks (including taxes delivery and exchange rate...)
