You, the Emperor's greatest heroes, must stop the Ogre horde. Only the most courageous dare face these mighty agents of destruction who revel in violence and leave a trail of devastation in their wake.

Seek out their subterranean fortress and battle your way through tunnels. There, in the very heart of the mountains, you will find the hall of the Ogre Lord. Destroy him and you will break the power of the Ogre Horde. But beware the Ogres have devised many deadly new traps to crush you and are aided by the foul powers of Chaos sorcery. You will need all the courage and fighting skills that you command to defeat these awesome creatures.

So prepare for battle against the Ogre Horde.

Ages: 14+
Players: 2-5
Game Length: 90 minutes
This is not a stand-alone game. A copy of HeroQuest is required to play.

I'm guessing unless GamesWorkShop came in for a collab on this one (which would be HUGE news), that's probably borrowed from the original version's advertisment verbiage. Still, cool to hear about! limit of 20 copies per customer...

Oh shoot I didn't see the flavor text on the sites page. Sorry and thanks for posting!

Spanish Youtube Channel La guardia de Morcar claims to hace some inside info:
We are having the same content than in the original box: 4 ogre warriors (the same figure from MOTM) and three bosses. Aldo the thore is going to be plastic bit the stone doors are going to be cardboard. The box will include another Hero miniature, the arena thing and solething more they dont know.
Take it woth a grain of salt...

Completing the info a bit, in La Guarida de Morcar has been also confirmed the following from an insider:

- 7 ogres miniatures (3 different bosses + 4 warriors like MoM).
- 1 warrior hero miniature (Female Dwarf, not un-confirmed by the insider when asked).
- 1 ogre throne model.
- 1 chest model (no info yet about how is it)
- 1 tile for the Arena.
- Cardboard stone doors (probably with classic plastic bade)
- Confirmed new mechanics for the Arena, which will be a place to visit between campaigns (maybe also between missions) to gain gold and/or lost equipment by a death hero. Options to revive such feath hero might also exist but not confirmed.

Additionally, in the same YouTube video is advanced that HQ rumors are also pointing to something related with 'Water'. New expansion? New creatures? Who knows, but it seems it will be revealed in a next video of La Guarida de Morcar.

Congrats to La Guarida de Morcar on these rumors! We should learn how much of that is accurate in the coming months... when is the next big convention?

[LucaRocks]

It's not a convention but I assume there will be a Hasbro earnings call in January for the 4th quarter of 2023. That one time they did it as a steaming presentation we saw a leak of Dread Moon's box. Who knows if they will do similar.

No stone doors would be a huge let down, as would getting only 7 Ogre minis. Even if some.of them are huge. I would rather have more single base Ogres in order to get some new, never before seen, smaller monsters.

I am very interested in a water expansion if true. It could take place on a giant ship or an island or both lol! Give the Abomination some watery friends! Giant Piranha! Sirens! Sea serpent! Fish men! Sea Hag! Bring em on!

Sorry, but are they saying that they will reveal their secret info in the next video? Just trying to understand correctly.

[HispaZargon]

YES.

I also guess anything about Water should be linked with Abominations...

[Vorimir]

Maybe that water themed expansion could be the update of the old japanese Neef island quests?

With the possible inclusion of a female dwarf hero, it seems to suggest this quest pack will be the “dwarf” quest pack of this version of the game. If true, then we could expect that Wizards of Morcar would become the new “wizard” quest pack featuring a female wizard hero.
