End result of lastnight carnage and adventuring...

Just out of curiosity, does everyone place the board so that the "Hero Quest" logo is facing Morcar/Zargon?

I do, since that is the way the maps are oriented in the Quest Book, but it leads to a lot of instances where furniture gets placed in a way the players can't see it, or the things behind it.

Yes, that's correct. It's just something that the players have to deal with

From p.7 of the North American Instruction Booklet, found under Setting Up the Game (which starts on p.6):

2. Open the gameboard and lay it flat on
a table. The words HERO QUEST must
face you.

Yeah its a pain but we just always remove the book case after the first round.
