Avalon Hill HeroQuest The Frozen Horror Quest Pack for Ages 14 and Up, Requires Hero Quest Game System to Play, 64 x 267 x 267 Millimeters

Product Information

The Avalon Hill team uses an alternative to the roll to move mechanic in our playtesting. We included it in this quest so you could try it out! It keeps the drama of rolling double 1s (tripping on a loose dungeon cobblestone) in combat but keeps exploring brisk. In this expansion, one player must take on the role of the barbarian, whose aim is to defeat the frozen horror and banish it to whence it came. All whilst the other player commands the chilling monstrosity that is the Frozen horror. That does mean that this adventure is not a soloable quest, as two players are required to command both forces.

I also love the frozen doors, new character sheets, and colored dice! If this is real and all the future expansions look like this, we're in for a real treat! The third expansion for HeroQuest. Adds new monsters, mercenaries, artifacts, spells, traps, rooms, and a 10-quest adventure set in the Arctic. ADD TO YOUR COLLECTION OF MINIATURES: This tabletop board game expansion includes 21 finely detailed unpainted miniatures: Frozen Horror, Barbarian, Mercenaries, Ice Gremlins, Polar Warbears, and Yetis It's hard to tell if there are any females this time. All the ice gremlins appear to have beards and the mercs are dupes of each other which was a little surprising after the coed nature of the game system (to be fair a lot of the female characters were pledge exclusives, but not all, we had female orcs, goblins and the elf).Quality-of-life additions, such as new combat and movement dice (blue because it's cold!) and a pad of more detailed character sheets, weren't essential but do enhance the experience. The Frozen Horror looks good (and appears to be part dragon... frost wyrm?), but now appears to take up 4 (?) squares instead of only 2 with a large round, rather than an oval (as I would have expected) base. Text indicates that the Frozen Horror is an "it." Includes Quest book featuring 10 quests, 21 finely detailed miniatures (Frozen Horror, Barbarian, 12 Mercenaries, 3 Ice Gremlins, 2 Polar Warbears, 2 Yetis) 2 dungeon doors, 35 game cards, 3 cardboard tile sheets, 6 combat dice, 2 movement dice, pad of character sheets, and instructions. (Requires HeroQuest Game System to play.) Introducing mercenaries to provide players with badly needed support for this campaign and a way to spend their gold

Great online store for board games. They always arrive perfectly and undamaged which is important to me. Stylized character sheets (with icy axes and blue ink) is a nice touch, extra character sheets are always welcome as you'll presumably be using a lot of them on these killer (if unmodified in terms of difficulty) quests (or if you're good at erasing... you used pencil, right?). This tabletop board game expansion includes 21 finely detailed unpainted miniatures: Frozen Horror, Barbarian, Mercenaries, Ice Gremlins, Polar Warbears, and Yetis

mercs (which, assuming the gold prices are unchanged, would cost 900 coins to hire and the same price to retain each quest), in dark blue instead of gray (red would be logical for a heroic faction but is more boring, and in actual fact the figures are used for both good and bad characters in the actual quests as they appeared in 1992)... I see, no removable weapons so enough for three options of each, but potentially you could hire MORE than in the original, making it easier (one strike against the unbearable difficulty of quests 4-10; unless they remove the rule that you can't hire them in 1-3!). At least we have now once again two shades of blue in the remake series. So about twice the manpower in battle to face those insurmountable odds... and just as the Guardian Knights would have served fine duty as mercenaries for hire in HeroQuest, so too these men (and women)-at-arms could also serve as alternate heroes perfectly well too (one could even double as Sir Ragnar as an equipped knight rather than prisoner). Welcome, mighty Barbarian, to the land of your youth! The tribal elders have summoned you to protect the Northland from great danger. The Frozen Horror, an evil creature long thought banished, has burst forth from its icy tomb to await Zargon's command. This campaign feels like the designers set the difficulty to hard mode. The new monsters are fantastic but can be very powerful, especially if encountered in large numbers or in corridors, and you can’t get all of your characters engaged. Encountering a Yeti in a corridor can mean death for a hero. The wandering monsters feel especially brutal in this campaign. This campaign is fully represented in the app, allowing it to replace the Dungeon Master role, which is welcome if everyone wants to play as the heroes or your gaming group only plays cooperative games.

I like that the "Hoth Wampa" look of the Yeti is mostly preserved, and I can't complain about the other monster sculpts. The Mercs look cool (and not at all like Bretonnian knights though I guess that had to be), but I was expecting more fur, I guess this is their first outing.

With this generation of HeroQuest, the folks at Avalon Hill are working on releasing the original expansions and adding brand-new content, much to the welcome of fans, old and new. Frozen Horror is the third expansion and contains an entire ten-quest campaign with new monsters, hazards, traps, rooms and rules to add more challenges and provide greater rewards. This quest includes a set of playtest rules for bringing an animal companion on your solo adventures. A popular archetype in sword and sorcery tales is the friend of beasts. Great cats, horses, hawks, and all manner of small clever critters have a history of thwarting the machinations of foul sorcerers. We wanted to take this opportunity to playtest some new companion rules and tell a story of how your hero first encountered one of these faithful animals on their journey to the frozen north. With the HeroQuest Frozen Horror expansion, players must destroy the evil Frozen Horror, a ferocious creature long banished, but has now returned to its ancient seat of power, and awaits Zargon’s summons. The powerful Barbarian must survive dangerous solo quests and only then will fellow heroes join him. Immerse yourself in the fantasy with the stunning artwork, 21 detailed miniatures, full-color tiles, and 10 exciting quests not seen in the initial HeroQuest Game System. (Requires HeroQuest Game System to play. Sold separately.) The game has limitless replayability, and you can also build their own quests and create their own stories. Gather friends together for an exciting night of tabletop gameplay in an epic battle of good and evil. The game is for 2-5 players, ages 14 and up. The Frozen Horror expansion includes full-color tiles, artifact cards, and quests that players haven't seen in previous editions of the HeroQuest Game System Considering the number of miniatures you get, it is a very compact box. It complements the base game nicely, making all monsters and companions easily accessible. In Hero Quest fashion, all items fit into plastic moulded compartments. It stops everything moving around in transit, but some miniatures can feel too snug and offer a small challenge to get out. The Rulebook
