Who here ACTUALLY plays HeroQuest?

[sajungzak]

I mostly enjoy the mechanics of any RPG, Hero Quest included...
...I don't think I could tolerate a game using the old rules.

What?! The beauty of this game is in its simplicity. I try to keep it somewhat fast paced, more fighting, less thinking. Although, I should say, the people I play it with are mostly regular board/card-gamers; to them, it is an RPG.

I have been slipping on my HQsets to be honest, personal *lemony goodness* in life takes priority. sorry i haven't posted lately. it comes in waves. * water college* it's tough to get a group of players together thats all i have to say about that,

I'm hoping to be able to teach my children how to play when they get a little bit older. Any body have any tips on getting your kids interested in the game?

Paint your minis. Show them. Sold.

We just played that library Drizzt game and my 8yr old said "these figures are boring! Can't we paint them?" Very tempting.

It got me wondering, so just for giggles... Who here ACTUALLY plays HeroQuest?

25 years ago I played it every week....before moving on to AHQ (briefly), MERP, AD&D, SW RPG and quitting games around 1993/1994.

It all started again 12 years ago with LOTR risk....and back to HQ. Not weekly, but say 4 times a year.

Nowadays I have +-4 gamenights a year in which Star Trek Catan is played, and (since december) Imperial Assault. (in my humble opinion the best 2 games out there)

When my kids are old enough I hope HQ will be played on a weekly basis again.

Oh, and this beauty will be played again as well.....

What game is that?


And sadly, the game is considered to simplistic for me to get my group into it. If I ever get or make the barbarian/elf/wizard/ogre expansions, I might be able to convince them to play those. But that's about it.

Looks like a Fraggle Rock one?

[Blammo]

I still play!

Well yeah i play. I just got back into HQ after a 20 year absence, but I'm back at it again......this time I have my own kid's filling a couple of seats at the game table.....and an occasional cousin.

Played twice this month so far!
