Looks like Ash is the first to unbox:

Great video , but it looks like deadgamer beat him to the JoD unboxing by a few hours (yes, deadgamer is back and talking HeroQuest! He spoiled the heck out of that booklet, just as I had hoped he would!) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpV9k4CDw-A&ab_channel=deadgamer

For those who forgot, he was the guy who leaked the entire mythic booklets to me while we were waiting for the haslab delivery...

Great news, can anybody give a rough estimation of the difficulty of the quests compared to other expansions? How much does it change over the course of the quest book? I do not want to look into the revealed quests myself yet. Thanks!

Looks like typically 30s-60s monster body points. Many other factors though like spawning enemies and different abilities. I'm going to guess similar to ROTDM.

So HasbroPulse changed the official North American release date yesterday from Sept 1st to July 9th. However Amazon US customers were able to get it as early as July 6th (prime shipping). I don't have prime and mine arrived from there yesterday (posted an unboxing on youtube but of course by this point everything and I mean EVERYTHING has been spoiled... thanks deadgamer!).

I agree with those who have noted the plastic on the miniatures is slightly stiffer than some previous expansions, the box being the same size (and "smooth" linen finish as ATOH's box, not the deep texture like we saw on MOTM/ROTDM). The tile sheets feel a little thinner than previous installments as well. No extra blank cards padding out the card deck. The QR code that goes to the companion app is on the quest book front cover itself (that little red corner) rather than on a separate flier like other sets.

I suposse that the goblin warlock is a "named bad guy" and not a new monster type.

Doug Hopkins (Wandering Monster) has today declared via Discord that the ending text of Quest 6 notes of Jungles of Delthrak expansion is not correct. The correct one is "Proceed to Quest 8 on page 27." (more info here).

Therefore, the scheme I shared here showing all the posible paths of this expansion was incorrect, so I have fixed it and uploaded here the corrected scheme if you are interested:

Just got this in the mail today. Looking GOOOOD!!!

Thanks for that error correction! I'd hate to play this the first time and run into that otherwise!

This errata is strange to me. One of the conclusions rewards you with an item that is normally located in Quest 6, but you can only access this conclusion by first going through Quest 8. It made sense because you would get something you missed by taking the Quest 8 path. With 6 leading into 8 now, are you supposed to end up with two copies of this item?

Hey, you know what? The more I look at the tiles in person, the more I'm thinking they were made with AI art. Anyone else getting that vibe?
