Popular Tabletop RPG HeroQuest Is Back Down To 50% Off At Amazon

Good news tabletop adventurers: the newest edition of the classic dungeon-crawling board game HeroQuest is back in stock at Amazon. Even better, it’s down to just $66, which is over 50% off the normal $135 price. While we’ve seen the popular tabletop game go for as low as $48 in the past, this is still an excellent price for the game. That said, we recommend grabbing the game before it sells out, as this price likely won’t be available for long.

Update: HeroQuest is in stock as of May 10 at 9:30 AM PT. The game sells out quickly when it is discounted this low, but it is usually restocked within a few days.

HeroQuest offers co-op fantasy adventuring similar to pen-and-paper RPGs with the streamlined approachability and setup of board games, so it’s perfect for tabletop newbies and veterans alike. Everything you need to play comes in the box, making this discount an excellent way to check out HeroQuest.

HeroQuest is designed for two to five players, with one person playing as the evil sorcerer “Zargon” and his army of monsters, and the rest take the role of one of four heroes: the Barbarian, Wizard, Dwarf, and Elf. Players take turns exploring unique dungeons filled with monsters, traps, and treasure, just like classic Dungeon & Dragons modules. The game includes pre-made quests, or you can create your own. While each hero and monster has their own stats and abilities, all information is easily tracked via playing cards and pre-made character sheets–so you won’t have to flip through sourcebooks to read up on a magic spell or confirm a skeleton’s hit points.

The original HeroQuest released back in 1989 and was out of print for many years until this second edition reissue dropped in 2021 with all-new artwork, plastic models, and refreshed rules. The box comes with over 70 detailed miniatures to represent the various heroes, monsters, and dungeon objects–like doors, treasure chests, stone altars, and so on–and over 90 cards for spells, loot, and more. You also get the full HeroQuest rulebook, 14 pre-made quests, a set of six dice, gameboard, and game master screen.

While HeroQuest is a great standalone game that offers plenty of customization, multiple second-edition expansion packs are also on sale at Amazon, including Rise of The Dread Moon for $40, The Frozen Horror for $40, and The Mage of Mirror for $30. Each expansion adds new heroes, quest lines, creatures, and more. Check the list below for all the HeroQuest expansions available at Amazon.
