Heroquest remake by Hasbro - The BIG discussion thread

[nathanielz]

Mage in the mirror seems somewhat likely, but the other two were EU only, never released in the US, so they would need conversion. It would be great, but I'm not entirely hopeful

So what information did you get? Just the name and price? Was it from a distributor, Hasbro or via Avalon Hill?

Yes, just the name and price. We are getting it from a distributor, Asmodee.

Yes, just the name and price. We are getting it from a distributor, Asmodee.

And the SKU, I'm guessing.

Our SKU is just "HeroQuestFrozenHorror".
I'm not sure if that's just one we made up

Huh; I saw the same SKUs crop up on a few different sites and thought it was a Hasbro thing.
HABF2847UU0 (Base), HABF4193UU0 (Witch), HABF4543UU0 (Kellar) and HABF5815UU0 (Horror).

Incidentally, do you guys get to see product UPCs?
If so, the Target webpage gave me 195166137230 for the base game; do the expansions have different codes?

Cheers.

At the moment, it's hard to tell if sites are copying each other and from the old expansion descriptions, rather than using info from the distributers. Sounds like there is actually less information to go around than they are putting out there, so it will be interesting to see what it actually ends up like.

I can 100% confirm that Frozen Horror is in fact coming, as I have personally co-created the product page for the store where I work
Retail stores have received very little info though. There's no description, content list or box art as of yet.
It's expected to release around August 2022.
We are selling it at 460 DKK = 73 $ = 53 £ = 62 €

Excellent hopefully that means Wizards of morcar,mage in the mirror and the ogre horde aren’t far behind.

Those are gonna take more effort as they have to be converted. I don't think Hasbro will base the conversion on our community conversions because that muddies things legally in ways that I'm sure won't matter, but Hasbro's legal team would be concerned might matter. They'll have to do the conversions themselves without looking at our stuff at all. So, expect some differences.

Haven't seen anything like that...

[Sknks]

I am so happy they seem to be re-doing the expansions, I never got the US exclusive quest packs. Unfortunately my copy of Wizards of Morcar disappeared into the void so hopefully they will release that too.

Looking forward to teaching my daughter Heroquest once I get the new version, I was going to teach her using my existing copy, but I figure its so close now and she won't want to play the same quests twice.

Anyone found any UK shops with a placeholder for the Frozen Horror yet? Holding my breath…
