Description from the seller

HeroQuest, the legendary dungeon-crawler fantasy adventure board game, in one of its most sought-after vintage editions.
It 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 game experience, managed through an asymmetrical system.
Roles: One player takes 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 treasures 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. Combat and defense are resolved using special combat dice with skulls and shields.
As can be seen from the images and from the photo of the box contents, the game is complete with all the accessories needed for adventures, including the notebook for recording game notes.
The only flaws are: the lack of an open door, the Gargoyle's wings that came broken and were duly glued 37 years ago, and the box slightly worn.
An elusive game destined for vintage and role-playing game lovers.
