"The Return of Heroscape" Topic

Avalon Hill/Wizards of the Coast/Hasbro has just announced the re-release of Heroscape, their currently OOP modular miniatures game system. New tiles, new figures are certain… anything else, who knows?
I've only learned about this via a YouTube video "tour" of their booth at GenCon. The video only has a brief view of the tiles and figs in a display case, with no other details.
So, maybe I'm glad I never dumped my collection of the original stuff. YouTube link

At the very least, those of you who liked the modular, slide-together hex tiles, it looks like you'll be able to get ‘em again.

(For those unfamiliar with this system, it is not connected to HeroQuest, despite the similar name, though I can see room for some bleed-through. Again, who knows?)

I also have a large collection I was getting ready to part with – will have to rethink

I remember it never got into it!pre painted miniature's as I remember,were the rules any good?
As I remember i really wanted the terrain but the miniatures put me off.

Try this thread at Heroscapers for info

We still have all our Heroscape. The rule are light weight but make for a fun game for all ages. Setting up the game is a bear.

I thought this was released months ago, or was that a different game?

The hexes are good for terrain under a Cigarbox mat too

79thPA, were you thinking of Heroquest, instead?

That's it! Thank you.

If the hexes from the new edition aren't compatible with the old ones I will have a reason to be mad. I don't care enough to actually get mad, but it would be a reason to get mad. I think I have three base sets of the original plus a couple expansion deals, who doesn't need hexes?

The rules are great for kids. Playable at a young age but still interesting. Entertaining for grown-ups too. Certainly I own better grown-up rules, but I also own *worse* grown up rules. Ugh.

I look forward to seeing what they do.
