According to the press release put out by Hasbro in anticipation of the reboot of this iconic game from 1989, Heroquest's remake was a project conducted by HasLab.

  • Stunning Artwork: The HeroQuest cards and booklets feature incredible artwork that helps takes players' imaginations into a fantastical world filled with hideous monsters, deadly traps, and more
  • 65+ Detailed Miniatures: This semi-cooperative board game includes highly detailed miniature figures on 25mm bases, and detailed furniture models for an immersive gaming experience
