HeroQuest, a pioneering dungeon-crawling board game, rekindled the magic of tabletop RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons over 30 years ago. Players stepped into the roles of mighty Barbarian, spell-slinging Elf, and other iconic heroes, bringing epic fantasy adventures to the kitchen table in just a couple of hours—a far cry from the lengthy sessions of traditional TTRPGs. Its iconic box brimming with plastic miniatures and its multi-quest storyline captivated players, forging a dedicated fanbase that continues to celebrate the game decades later. Their enthusiasm fueled the successful HasLab crowdfunding campaign that brought HeroQuest back to life. Years after the campaign's conclusion, both new and seasoned fans are enjoying the newly released game and its expanding universe of adventures!
This buyer's guide helps you plan your own heroic quests against the evil Zargon and his minions.

Importantly, First Light is fully compatible with all other HeroQuest expansions, making it the ideal starting point for newcomers.
