Very happy to get this product in perfect condition, shipped fast and free! at a great price. I highly recommend Little Shop of Magic and the shop is even better in person if you are visiting Las Vegas.

I collect and paint minis, and these was a solid deal on sale. I have a problem with collecting minis, but I am happy with everything that came in this expansion.

Very pleased with this product. The floor tile punch outs are one sided though, the bottoms are solid black. Excellent artwork, miniatures, quest book and cards. Very well made.

Item received as described. Awesome selller!

Me likey: + Models are finely updated + The original spirit is still intact + Everything from the original remains + New bonuses added + Properly challenging quests + Minis not warped + The Frozen Horror is as big as he should be Me no likey: - Pricey for an expansion Remaking Heroquest was a great move, as the game was ahead of its time, and the designers have been careful to not stray too far from the formula so far. Some might say that they stuck too close to the original, but to me that can be a good thing. Modern home brewing makes games like this way too easy, so it’s nice to see the designers go the opposite route and bring back a little challenge to the table. The Frozen Horror can be brutal. OGs know what they’re up against already, but new generations experiencing this quest pack for the first time are in for a real treat — IF they’re up for a challenge. The first few quests are solo for the barbarian and, one hero going it alone is dangerous. All four heroes would find these quests plenty perilous, so players will need to resort to a little strategic thinking and, quite possibly, running away from time to time. The minis here are very well done, and properly scaled, which is nice because some of the original models left a little to be desired. The Frozen Horror in particular, is pretty big compared to the original. What I like most is that these models aren’t warped like the models in the core game were. The materials used in these models also allow for a little abuse without being so brittle. What I didn’t expect with this reboot is that the designers saw fit to include a fine set of ice colored dice and a pad of Frozen Horror themed character sheets. These are great additions, even if they’re unnecessary. Other notable improvements over the original HQ are equipment cards (instead of a single throwaway sheet), and plastic doors (instead of cardboard). And truth be told, all these components are necessary to justify the price tag. $50 is a lot of money for an expansion. Granted, this quest pack is bigger than Kellar’s Keep and Return of the Witchlord (those were expensive too, given their size), but that’s still a sizable chunk of change. Aside from the price, this quest pack is a winner. It stays true to the original while properly updating the components, improves in areas where they’re needed and adds some nice, unexpected bonuses.

Product was exactly what I wanted and it shipped very quickly. I look forward to purchasing more of your products.

Great expansion to a great game from my childhood. Can’t wait to play with my kids when they understand it.
