A card game will be released for HeroQuest in the first quarter of the year. That comes from a listing of Hasbro on Amazon.com. There, players can register for notification. The HeroQuest card game is aimed at two to four players aged around 14 years and over. There is no detailed information about the game, however, it will probably be a kind of deck building dungeon crawler, in which players slip into the role of heroes in order to box their way through a dungeon to the end boss Zargon.
Hasbro seems to have big plans for HeroQuest. The brand was revived last year through a crowdfunding campaign. About the in-house Platform "Pulse" had Hasbro funds collected and set a target of one million US dollars but that a new edition of HeroQuest should only be realized. The idea was at least so well received by fans that a sum of around 3,7 million US dollars was ultimately generated. With HeroQuest shines Hasbro to have a driving force with which the company can attract more attention among frequent players.
HeroQuest: Card game as a dungeon crawler
Now a card game for HeroQuest is supposed to make the franchise with the retro flair even more attractive. The premise is simple: two to four players try to escape from a dungeon. The goal is to put an end to end boss Zargon - before the heroes have been inflicted four wounds, of which there are apparently permanent injuries as well as cards, the latter one will apparently be able to get rid of.
Players choose from different heroes. How many there will be is unknown. Presumably, however, the card game is based on the table variant. All that can be seen is that the barbarian will be part of the game. The style of the illustrations corresponds to the HeroQuest board game.
Players have three actions available during their turn: attack, heal a wound, or search for a treasure. This implies that Loot will play an essential role. As is usual with a dungeon crawler, players will likely be able to equip their heroes with weapons, armor, and useful items. The previously published cards for HeroQuest: The Card Game give a clue. The “Heroic Potion”, for example, lets players manipulate a dice roll. At least the fights are therefore decided on the dice.
By the way, the games shouldn't last long: the product description says so Hasbro announces that the HeroQuest card game will offer a condensed dungeon crawler experience and will be quick to play. There is currently no exact release date, but the title is expected to be released between February 3rd and March 5th. The price is around $20.
