drathe speaks words of wisdom there... I don't really need a sealed copy when a gentle used one would work. I will post when its on eBay so you can watch the crazy people bid, or become a crazy person yourself fellow Ye Olde Inn fans!!!

Even more drooling, should hav grabbed a mop :)

I then checked eBay US, UK, Germany and did not see anyone selling one, so I traveled over to boardgamegeek.com and I see a company offering $345.00 for it. I just started to laugh, as if, my kids need to play this expansion one day I thought.

Wife shook her head, and I know she was thinking its only a game sell it, you geek or dork !! LOL But at this time I can't part with it !!!


A sealed copy can go upward to $500 US. Opened ones go for an average of $250. Perhaps you should get a decent opened copy from eBay, then turn around and sell the sealed one to cover the costs, plus a chunk of change.

I get called a dork on a regular basis by my wife. And I still get sex on a regular basis from her as well. Dorkdom isn't so bad, she keeps coming back for more :)

Haha yes, I didn't mean to exclude my northern neighbors. I thought it wasn't released on our side of the planet until 1990 though - a year after the UK release. Isn't that right? Whenever it was, I got it for Christmas that year after making it well known that it was my most coveted plastic thing in the world.

As for my old quests, drathe, I do still have some of them. The quests are hand-drawn on graph paper, so I think I'll fancy them up a bit before posting. I haven't looked at them in like 18 years, so I hope they're not totally lame. if they are, I'll just change them before sharing so as not to look lame myself. :)

EF, I probably will not become the old man who does nothing but HeroQuest only because I have way too many other nerdish hobbies. Comics and books and video games... sigh. Now I'm talking about painting HQ miniatures and my wife, for the first time ever, after accompanying me to Comic-Con twice and watching every dumb sci-fi movie I can push on her, has just called me a dork. I think I may have crossed a line.

We fell in love with Hero Quest upon its NORTH American (i.e., CANADA) release in 1989.

Then university happened. and alot of sex.

It took 20 years for the hobby to equalize in importance to the sex. Hope I don't become an old old man who does nothingbut HQ...

Welcome to the community!

If you have any of those Quests, Monsters, Spells, or anything else still, we would all love to see them. Hopefully you'll find plenty here to continue playing and designing Quests for decades to come.
