How to Level Up a Board Game

HeroQuest brings a lot of tabletop ideas filtered through role playing games and puts them on a table with upgradable characters modular scenarios. It changes the way people think about board games and this inspires so many cool imitators. The game itself is just a card game. There's nothing fantastic about it there's nothing like role playing ish about it. I love that sort of stuff but HeroQuest really puts a different sort of game on the table for the first time. You've got Dark World, Battle Masters which you got a sequel to HeroQuest? And Talisman has been around longer than HeroQuest even though D&D was already spawning a whole bunch of imitation games.
