Dear all Ye Olde Inn members,

In 1993, Estrela S.A. company released, with Milton Bradley & Hasbro licence, the last classic edition of HeroQuest, the Brazilian one.

The gameplaying rules of this Brazilian edition were fully based in the American ones from 1990, however this edition included several aesthetical differences compared with North American Edition, which nowadays have awaken the curiosity of many other HeroQuest fans worldwide. The most known difference is this edition is miniatures and some of its furniture pieces were entirely made of cardboard parts instead of plastic, but there were other different details...

Then, I am glad to open this thread to summarize and provide access to all the available content in the Inn and other external websites about 1993's Brazilian Edition of HeroQuest. Unfortunately, there is some unavailable material by now but I hope it would appear in the future:

Notice original miniatures do not include any cardboard base as shown in these pictures since they were assembled in regular plastic door bases pieces.

- Cardboard Miniatures : Original not available, but these 17 cardboard miniatures were assumed to have the same design as the Orcs, Goblins and Fimirs from Game System box cardboard miniatures. Notice that the plastic regular door bases pieces required to assembly these cardboard monsters were provided inside the expansion box.


Return of the Witch Lord (O Retorno de Witch Lord) expansion box components:

- Questbook (Livro das Buscas) : Portuguese (more info and direct links in this Inn's page)

- Tiles : Same tiles as Return of the Witch Lord American Edition (Inn's download here)

Official Expansions components:

- Brazilian Edition of Dragon Magazine and others also published some exclusive addon's for HeroQuest. Inn's member Geofonos provided them in this post.


Please, if anybody knows where can be found some of the non available material, it would be so interesting for the Inn's Community to find it and complete the list in order to preserve the full set of these documents for future generations of HeroQuest fans. All colaboration will be appreciated, thank you.

Hi everybody,

Once again, thanks to Inn's member lucapaschi, please note that new link to Brazilian Screen has been already added to the summary post.

I have also updated the links to the available files in the Inn about Brazilian Editions of Return of the Witch Lord and Kellar's Keep expansions. Unfortunately an original scan of the second one's questbook is not still available, but I hope we will have it sometime in the future.

Enjoy!

Thanks HZ and lucapaschi!!!

At least Brazilian HeroQuest players didn't have to worry about broken candlesticks... :mrgreen:

Wasn't there an alternate Armory board with different artwork as well?

Ahhh... thank you. I also see a nice "painting guide" via the cardboard furniture pieces and the cardboard standees that others could use for inspiration... (EU edition has other examples of painted furniture on the back of that GM screen).
