The Mage of the Mirror

This is a really nice addition to the Hero Quest game. Nice quality set with figures and cards. I own the original game (got it as a kid, early 90's?) and the new release. They are very similar, but the new version is a little nicer. The figures are strong and have more details, you can even paint them. The card stock is great, it seems "tougher", like it will last longer, if that makes sense. Anyway, the new add-on's, particularly this one, are great. They add a lot more story and variation to the game. These add so much more replayability, it a no brainer to get this or another one. The value here is also really good. Plus, the more you get, the more value you add to the entire game. You can't beat it.

Nice product

I loved this expansion, the minatures are well made and add to the base game. I love the new elf items and extra spell options for the elf (there is also a male elf mini in a new pose as well as elven mercs you can hire). Overall this is great and well worth the money (the new quests are really fun and the new enemies give you some good options for self made adventures).

Entrega en la fecha indicada. Producto en excelente condición. Ninguna queja al respecto en ningún sentido. Inicié en el mundo de Heroquest hace muy poco y me enganchó de tal manera el juego base que no lo pensé dos veces en adquirir esta primera expansión. La compré a un precio excelente y estoy muy contento con la adquisición.

Is what it is shipping was quick don’t forget to pick up the original game this is only an expansion.

I was not 100% sure I would get this expansion. Not that it's bad, but because I own a copy of the original release. The earlier expansions have been almost word for word identical to the originals, again that's not a bad thing. The Frozen Horror gave new themed dice and character sheets, this expansion has new themed furniture. Hasbro/Avalon Hill does update this one with some changes in rules, a correction to a potion and a monsters stats. They also sprinkle in some other minor changes. The quest are pretty much the same, you have 3 solo quest to begin where the elf hero has to prove their worth. Then the group quest begin and there are 5 of those leading to the finale of a double quest (quest 9 and 10). There are the familiar updates from old to new Heroquest with references to Chaos being replaced with Dread and mention of Elf Quest now just using the expansion name of Mage of the Mirrors. I also noticed the simply used "the princess" in some places instead of "Princess Millandriell". They also corrected the Potion of Restoration" to now be called "Potion of Superior Restoration" since earlier quest (Keller's Keep for example) had introduced a potion of Restoration that did something different. Moonsilver is now Lunarium, Elven riches are introduced, mercenaries are available (assuming you have the Frozen Horror pack) and they made sure all artifacts are included in the quest book this time! Last time one artifact had a card but was never mentioned in the quest. Quest have some updates as well and since reading beyond this point might include spoilers, PLEASE STOP READING IF YOU WANT TO AVOID ANY SPOILERS! Now that we got that out of the way, let's take a look at what has been updated... First the overall changes, as mentioned earlier they introduced Elven Riches which basically means any chest found without a quest note will automatically have 200GC. In looking through the quest, it seems they have made sure already to update all chest in this quest book. The Ogres now have half the body points! Before they had 10 BP and now they have 5 BP. Should be interesting since they didn't add any extra monsters to the quest from what I've seen. Quest 1 is now The Sovereign Sword Returns. For whatever reason the sword you retrieve has been renamed and thus the quest title has been updated. Also note E was added giving the Elven Bracers as a treasure. This artifact was included with the original Elf Quest but never mentioned in the quest. Quest 2 note D added 200GC to the chest, basically the Elven Riches rule Quest 5 once again is where Moonsilver has been replaced by Lunarium Quest 7 the note C should state equipment card as the toolkit is not an artifact Note H adds 500GC to the chest Quest 8 note C has me wondering what happened if a hero has no equipment to cast aside? Do they get across the quicksand for free without penalty even if they failed the roll? Quest 9 has a new name "Silvermane's Lair" That's all! To me the change with the most impact had to be the Ogre body point change. We'll have to see how it plays out.

I have had my Heros Quest system since the beginning. I am a long way from playing this quest pack, but I am happy to have it. It was shipped in perfect condition and arrived on time. Great quality, great game system. Super happy and if you know about HQ then you know you will have to add this one to your collection.

Je m'attendais à une boîte plus grande... Le contenu - à savoir 2 figurines une intro et des cartes (pas de quêtes) - est très pauvre bien que d'excellente qualité. Malheureusement quand on voit cette boîte vendu plus de 25€ parfois, je trouve que c'est du vol pour son contenu !

item was damaged

I got a damaged box from the seller but thats not an issue as I am a gamer, not a collector. The expansion itself is ok if you get it cheap. Not much 'new' like the other expansions so this is just basic with the same minis you got in the Gamesystem. Nothing too inspiring and potentially if you aren't a completionist you could skip it or download the booklet and use that to play through the missions.

Glad that I don't have to pay 300$ for something that is sold for 20$ retail at GameStop. Please continue to sell direct Hasbro and reconsider reprinting the Knight expansion.

Tolle Ergänzung zum Hauptspiel.
