Heroquest remake by Hasbro - The BIG discussion thread

About the new Guard Knights skills, does anybody know which card deck correspond their cards? I have not found a picture of their back yet.

[Kurgan]

A good question. The Equipment cards would just be that. I imagine the backs of the cards probably resemble the artwork on the Hero turn cards if past is any precedent. Does it say "Knight spell" or maybe "Knight Skill" ? Don't know...

[cynthialee]

those Knight Skill Cards seem pretty cool, but only being able to use these cards 1 time each rather limits the utility of taking this Hero. But then if you have this dude, why play the Barbarian? A fighter with special moves is better than one with out them.

Yeah, I think so... this new kind of heroes will eclipse the classic ones. The only little advantage for the Barbarian will be having 1 more Body Point but the Knights skills value is more than that. The Barbarian starts with a broadsword too... but knights start with shield... and what about the Dwarf? The Dwarf will only have 1 more Mind Point and his disarming traps ability then... those fighters seems to be at all better choices than Barbarian or Dwarf, I don't like too much it.

Anyway, according to classic canon and Warhammer lore, those new Guard Knights should be equivalent to Reiksguard Knights, isn't it? I always thought Sir Ragnar was one of them

Now if we get the Barbarian Quest Pack and the Barbarian only gear then the Barbarian becomes worth playing again.

Anyone outside of America had any success downloading/installing the app from the play store? I followed the link and it says "not available in your country" when I tried to open it in the store..

I'm told you might have success using a VPN...

Good point. Exclusive potions and an Artifact that levels him up (similar to how the Elf is privileged in his quest pack). Then we'll need the Dwarf and Wizard quest packs to level up those characters.

Or we can start using the Japanese rules and all it will cost you is 500 gold per try!

The Reiksguard knight tribute connection is interesting. Actually the Knight was probably the first de-magicified thing we had... and the Skills (replacing Spells) sounds very familiar... appropriate!

[Gatch]

I don't think you should even need a VPN just to use an app for a board game; this sounds like an issue that needs solving, and that's...unfortunate. But it sounds like for the time being, you might have to pull some shenanigans just to use an app.

Hasbro needs to get on this, methinks.

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

This one works.
