Description from the seller

HeroQuest, the legendary dungeon crawler fantasy adventure board game, in one of its most sought-after vintage editions. This is the Italian vintage edition published by MB Giochi (Milton Bradley) in 1989, born in collaboration with the mythical Games Workshop. The game simulates a role-playing experience, managed via an asymmetric system. Roles: One player assumes the part of the Master (called Morcar in this old European edition, or Zargon in the American edition and in later remakes). Morcar controls the monsters and knows the secret dungeon map. The other players portray the four iconic Heroes: the Barbarian, the Dwarf, the Elf and the Wizard. The heroes must collaborate to overcome a series of 14 progressive scenarios (the “Quests”), accumulating gold and treasure to buy new equipment between sessions. The Characters move by rolling dice and reveal rooms or corridors only when they physically open doors or enter the line of sight. Battles and defense are resolved through special combat dice with skulls and shields imprinted. As you can see from the images and from the photo of the box contents, the game comes complete with all the accessories needed for the adventures, including the block notes for keeping play notes. The only flaws are: the absence of an open door, the Gargoyle’s wings that came off and were duly glued 37 years ago, and the box slightly worn. A hard-to-find game destined for vintage and role-playing game lovers. Shipping with Poste Italiane.
