The perfect introduction to tabletop RPGs

HeroQuest is Milton Bradley's approach to a Dungeons & Dragons-style adventure game. One player acts as game master, revealing the maze-like dungeon piecemeal as the players wander. Up to four other players take on a character (wizard, elf, dwarf, or barbarian) and venture forth into dungeons on fantasy quests.

HQ is very much D&D lite but very much as fun. The rules are kept simple and the pace is quicker with the quests full of action and the challenge balanced.
