2020 HeroQuest Rehashed Rules & Region Locked WTF? #Weekender
September 25, 2020 by avernos
Today on the OnTableTop Weekender! HeroQuest has been resurrected by Hasbro with a rehashed version of the original rules and region-locked to North America only, has this crowd funder missed the mark? The guys feel like it's a thirty-year wait only to fall flat and don't get Warren started on stretch goals! Lloyd gets lost in a world of grey aliens and open tabs during a mind-blowing Indie of the Week. PLUS Stone Sword Games show how to properly relaunch a decades-old game with the Hogs Of War Kickstarter.

What do you think of the range so large it almost broke Lloyd? Is there something you need and they don't have it because we're curious if the range isn't yet complete and I'm sure CP Models are looking for directions to expand in?

Four weeks for the first milestone is a good idea. My stuff only arrived in the post yesterday.
HQ not worth it.. over-rated anyway. So many better games. I understand the nostalgic factor, but I’d rather play Arcadia Quest or Gloomhaven
Woo Hoo, early on this weeks show
The contrast paint PDF you’re referring to was done by Michael Martin from

‘Tis the Weekend!
Once Warren’s done with his HeroQuest rant it looks like a quiet one too…
Why did I immediately think of @warzan when I saw this? :

Not the first time america has restricted access to product.
GW done it with several games including Blitzbowl.
But it’s ok… I don’t care…
There’s plenty of stuff I was nostalgic about, but when I experience something 30 years later that I have fond memories of… I often find my opinion has changed.
Can we get a Chainsaw Warrior reboot :p
Happy Weekender all. I will admit I was riding the nostalgia train with the revamp of Heroquest but Id be more likely to back Hogs or War which looks like a really fun game.
Yay weekender time is upon us.
The CP models 6mm range is the old Angel barracks range
Thanks for the show, have a good weekend…
Already on GCP picking up some minis so damn you all again.
HeroQuest is a big let down but not unexpected… the artwork has no soul and is generic JRPG, the cost is ridiculous for getting this in the young generation and limited release.
Such a shame, this version certainly won’t be looked back at with the same fondness in 30 years’ time.
Very glad I have original.
You could use some of the smaller scale CP model stuff for 28mm weird war where one side has access to a shrink ray
In terms of copyright, both versions of the UK Rules Of Play have copyright Milton Bradley (owned by Hasbro by that time). The UK’s first version of the Rules Of Play has “Developed with Games Workshop HeroQuest is a trademark owned by Games Workshop Ltd., and is used with permission”. The UK’s second version of the Rules Of Play had only “Developed with Games Workshop” and not “HeroQuest is a trademark owned by Games Workshop Ltd., and is used with permission”. The USA version’s Instruction Booklet has no mention of Games Workshop at all.

iv seen it all now warren doing a grab a Granny!??
Run John Run as fast as you can.
I’ve been looking at the two UK versions and one USA version of the rules from the original releases of the HeroQuest game and i don’t know what they could be referring to in the UK version(s) of the rules that they would want to add into the USA version of the rules. As far as i can see most of the differences amount to improvements in clarity and presentation in the USA version of the rules. The only rule that is in the UK version(s) of the rules that is fully absent in the USA version of the rules… Read more »

Shame shame @Lloyd

It’s the Weekender! Hurray Good to hear I’m not the only one that is a bit behind in the Milestone One for the Conquest Slow Grow League. Of course I am trying to do two factions. (that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it) CP minatures are insane! Geez, I may have to place an order. Thanks @avernos for dipping into my wallet again! ? @warzan … here is a conspiracy theory for you.., this HEROQUEST re-release is a copy of the Indomitus 40k FOMO…… This should not be a surprise! HEROQUEST used to be own by WHO????? Games Workshop……… Read more »
A Hasbro FOMO fuck up.
