The Mage of the Mirror

Nice product

I loved this expansion, the minatures are well made and add to the base game. I love the new elf items and extra spell options for the elf (there is also a male elf mini in a new pose as well as elven mercs you can hire). Overall this is great and well worth the money (the new quests are really fun and the new enemies give you some good options for self made adventures).

This is a really nice addition to the Hero Quest game. Nice quality set with figures and cards. I own the original game (got it as a kid, early 90's?) and the new release. They are very similar, but the new version is a little nicer. The figures are strong and have more details, you can even paint them. The card stock is great, it seems "tougher", like it will last longer, if that makes sense. Anyway, the new add-on's, particularly this one, are great. They add a lot more story and variation to the game. These add so much more replayability, it a no brainer to get this or another one. The value here is also really good. Plus, the more you get, the more value you add to the entire game. You can't beat it.

Entrega en la fecha indicada. Producto en excelente condición. Ninguna queja al respecto en ningún sentido. Inicié en el mundo de Heroquest hace muy poco y me enganchó de tal manera el juego base que no lo pensé dos veces en adquirir esta primera expansión. La compré a un precio excelente y estoy muy contento con la adquisición.

Is what it is shipping was quick don’t forget to pick up the original game this is only an expansion.

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.

The very best expansion ever! Wolf's miniatures are beyond amazing!

Je m'attendais à une boîte plus grande... Le contenu - à savoir 2 figurines une intro et des cartes (pas de quêtes) - est très pauvre bien que d'excellente qualité. Malheureusement quand on voit cette boîte vendu plus de 25€ parfois, je trouve que c'est du vol pour son contenu !

item was damaged

I got a damaged box from the seller but thats not an issue as I am a gamer, not a collector. The expansion itself is ok if you get it cheap. Not much 'new' like the other expansions so this is just basic with the same minis you got in the Gamesystem. Nothing too inspiring and potentially if you aren't a completionist you could skip it or download the booklet and use that to play through the missions.

Glad that I don't have to pay 300$ for something that is sold for 20$ retail at GameStop. Please continue to sell direct Hasbro and reconsider reprinting the Knight expansion.

Tolle Ergänzung zum Hauptspiel.
