I'm looking for a game that's similar to the old board game Hero's Quest. Descent seems to be close with more RPG stuff. Can anyone confirm similarity?

It's more like Advanced Hero's Quest, as you can modify the layout of the board more than you could in regular Hero's Quest. The general flow of play is very similar to Hero's Quest though. You pick a character, you can follow them through multiple adventures and improve their skills and equipment. It's like a lite version of an RPG.

Greed. Pure and simple. The game is apparently not made anymore and folks are trying to cash in on "rareness" or "collectability". I bought one back in 2000 for 7 dollars at Dollar General at a clearance rack. I have played it every day since for at least a few minutes...better than reading the paper on the throne :) I was looking to find another one in case this one wears out and have seen the most horrible prices for them. Even used ones on Ebay are 30 bucks or more and over 100 for ones in the package. Hasbro needs to re-release it (with new word lists and maybe upgraded a little)

Same publisher, all are card games, but they don't all play the same. We love Gamewright games - Rat-A-Tat-Cat and Sleeping Queens are 2 of my kids' favorites. There's A Moose In the House is a decent game, but we prefer the other two.

How about hinterlands? Any thought on that? I'm thinking of picking up Prosperity as the second one. Not sure if I'm ready for the Seaside complexity, and I don't need the extra base game, so unless the rest of intrigue is awesome...

Hi, I'm the designer of the game. I was concerned about all the rumors here, so I checked with the publisher. She told me that 5000 copies of the game had been sent to distributors during Q4, but some of the larger distributors may have sold out theirs already due to the Tabletop coverage. There are more on the way, though, and I suspect that some of the smaller places and local stores may still have copies available, so you shouldn't need to start scavenging quite yet!

Race for the Galaxy is also a deck building game, so similar principles apply. This game is themed on space travel and conquest, so it different. I would not consider it better or worse, but both Dominion and RftG are good games. DaveBoardgames4us

Yes, but the mechanics of the game rely on players assisting each other. However, there is an Arkham Horror game available for iOs that allows for one player and is essentially a simplified version of Arkham Horror. I believe the same game is available in board game format. It's called Elder Sign Omens.

I recently got the game. Its fun and it keeps the same idea, but it doesnt have the same feel. Don't get me wrong I do enjoy the game, but I would definately prefer TIM over this game.

I haven't played Ryse yet...I think it's supposed to be pretty good? But anyway so far Shadowfall's pretty amazing. IMO Gurilla (SP?) keeps getting better at storytelling and gameplay (besides graphics of course).

Yes the miniatures are basically the same as DnD minis. The board is similar but uses hexagons instead of a square grid.

Bog box is great, but I playa lot of board games with folks. After playing quite a bit of Dominion, I can say that you would be happy with the regular game. Loads of fun with a ton of replay value without needing the expansions.

To be honest I would grab a full set of conquest of you can and if not go for the quest. Conquest seems to be printed more than quest. Quest is larger but conquest has some cool new cards and ideas that aren't involved in quest. Like senators and metals and other things. It makes the game a little bit more group play than one person at a time. That's what I would do

I have heard from others that it plays like D&D; 4th Edition in the sense that 4th is becoming more and more like a board game. That being said, this game is separate from the RPG D&D; 4th Ed. The D&D; Adventure System board games are all stand alone systems. They can be combined with each other, but you may be able to use the miniatures in other products.

This isn't a puzzle type of game. It's not like... Hey figure this out to move on. This game doesn't even fit in any game category, it's more of a category on its own. You play as the character and have objectives to do. Whether you do them or not will decide your factor in game ending. There's over 20 endings to the game.

I'm sorry but I am not at all familiar with it! I saw the game being used on Bravo TV one night when 3 people were playing it and ordered it for a thirty year old for a Christmas gift. she liked the game and plays it with her friends!
