HeroQuest...

I'll just leave this here:

Don't have any information on it though!

Interesting. I wonder what they are going to do with it?

Presumably no GW involvement anymore. AH are now a subsidiary of Wizards of the Coast (themselves a subsidiary of Hasbro) who obviously own D&D, and who make the adventure board games.i wonder if there will be a crossover there?

That is an interesting tease

At least this one might deliver some product 

After all its a wasted brand/product/opportunity at the moment (ok for years)

But again they have been "doing" something with it for years already so a few more days wait is fine.

Hopefully not a too disappointing reveal

Speculative article. Doesn’t shed a whole lot of light on anything really.

Interested!
Better be more than that Damned 25th Anniversary edition I sunk money into.

Restoration Games has negotiated the license for HeroQuest as HeroQuest Legacy (?). RG is known for bringing back nostalgic games, such as Fireball Island, Dark Tower, and now HQ. One of the owners is an IP lawyer (?) as well as an ex-Hasbro employee, and the other games they've licensed are Hasbro properties (or properties that are owned by Hasbro through mergers with Milton Bradley, etc.). Hasbro owns many of the rights for HQ, but GW made the miniatures and may have rights of their own (eg. Fimir, Chaos Warrior, Chaos Sorceror, etc.).

EDIT: "The lack of mention of GW in the copyright footer on the new site may signal a lack of involvement (by GW)."

HeroQuest now has a countdown timer for HQ with a Hasbro copyright. I'm presuming some sort of partnership between RG and Hasbro (much like Hasbro did with FFG with Lord of the Rings and, to some extent, Nexus Ops (?)), even if it's RG doing all the work and Hasbro putting a logo on all the HQL boxes...!

EDIT: RG has said in a twitter that they are not involved with the project.

Agee. I don't really expect anything quite spectacular, but for sure they will produce something.

[Golgotha]

Well it's certainly got my interest.

I'd be interested if there is quality in the box.  Hasbro doesn't scream that to me - I'd like to be wrong.  I already lost all my money on the fake Hero Quest relaunch, so I don't know if I'll bother jumping on this (even as a real retail product!).

I hear you. I think time for my kids to enjoy HQ might be passing, not me though, I'll see what they have to offer.

Incredible. I love his original video and this is almost as good. And I think he is on the money with some of his predictions!

I just want this to be a somewhat reasonably priced, simple dungeon crawler for kids with figures. They don't have to be great or anything, I'd just like to have the niche of that sort of game filled again. With a product that a.) actually is on shelves and b.) will be restocked for years to come. € 140,00 boardgames with 2kg worth of printed renders off kickstarter and limited edition holds no interest for me what so ever.

Couldn't agree more. Heroquest is a great B & P game for me now but its role in getting me and my friends interested in miniatures gaming back in the early '90s was crucial. I'd hope it could provide a similar role now by being relatively inexpensive and readily available.

Yes, Also agree.
HQ was for many a gateway into more advanced boardgames and/or tabletop games. It was simple and easy to play with quick rules. That's what I loved about it.
