This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

HeroQuest is on sale right now on Amazon US for $47.48 and free shipping. I've never played this game before.  I've heard of it, but don't know much about it.  But I take it that this is a really good price?

It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance.

47 is a steal for all the shit that comes in the box.

Heroquest as a game is dirt simple. It's the Monopoly version of Dungeon Crawling.
But it has a huge nostalgia factor for a lot of people. (Like me) The miniatures and dungeon furniture are neat, and there are already a ton of expansions reprinted and available for purchase.
The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

There are also lots of expansions with new quests and miniatures.  I had the original version from ca. 1989, lost it just a few years ago and plunked down over $100 for the new version.  Then I grabbed the first couple expansion packs.  We've only played it maybe 3 times, but in a year or two when my son is a bit older, I know he'll be all over it.  Today he surprised me by asking about my Dungeons & Dragons game because I was transferring characters to new sheets.  Thing is, I'm not sure I ever told him that's what it's called and he's just starting to read (and it was technically Castles & Crusades).  But he's picked that up somewhere and loves rolling dice and playing with the minis.  So HeroQuest will be the gateway.

For me personally, as a fan of HeroQuest and Advanced HeroQuest I just found the new artstyle to be a bit too bland and clean compared to the classic artwork. I might get the new box when it's super cheap just so I can resin print some nicer looking minis that are more evocative of the old minis. Monstrous Encounters do some great STLs that look much more like what I would expect from a modern HeroQuest rerelease.
