The classic 80s-90s board game HeroQuest is making a comeback and is currently available for backing on a crowd-funding page at Hasbro’s official website, with some exciting new backing tiers.
The table-top RPG dungeon-crawler was originally created by board game masters Milton Bradley (now owned by Hasbro) and was essentially a board game version of Dungeons and Dragons. It even allowed one player to be the Dungeon Master and design their own dungeons using included miniatures of characters and furnishings. Back in September, toy manufacturing giant Hasbro began teasing the possible return HeroQuest, and now the game is in the midst of its crowd-funding program.
As of this writing, the game has reached nearly 3 million dollars in crowd-funding on Hasbro’s HasLab website. The HasLab website is designed to let fans vote with their wallets and essentially pre-order and fund the production of some toys that would otherwise not be profitable or possible for Hasbro, like the absolutely massive Sentinel figure from the X-Men. The game is now nearing some of its newly announced stretch goals for those who back at the Mythic Tier level, which costs $149.99:
- 2M – 2 Extra Abominations
- $3.4M – 2 Extra Dread Warriors
- $3.6M – 1 Extra Dread Sorcerer
- $3.8M –1 Extra Gargoyle
- $4.0M – Joe Manganiello’s Quest Book with Dragon miniature & game tiles
Joe Manganiello is an actor and celebrity D&D player, known for his roles in shows like True Blood and How I Met Your Mother, as well as Deathstroke in the upcoming Snyder Cut of Justice League, which he is currently partaking in the reshoots of. Manganiello has designed a whole quest book for Mythic Tier backers to unlock upon breaking the 4 million dollar stretch goal.
The game is available for funding for 7 more days at either the aforementioned $149.99 Mythic Tier or the $99.99 Heroic Tier. The game will eventually be available on retail shelves, but without some miniatures that will only be available to those who back the game.
HeroQuest is expected to ship to backers in the Fall of 2021, with a not official retail release presumably sometime after that.
