The new edition of HeroQuest was the revival of a classic: Now the Moon of Terror is an expansion that will continue the story of the Deungeon Crawler board game published in 2010.
The new Quest expansion is available to pre-order through various retailers and comes home in a self-contained box with new miniatures, cards, stands, terrain pieces and other necessary gaming accessories. However, it is a real expansion: the HeroQuest base game is required in order to be able to play “Rise of the Dread Moon”, as it is called in English.

The accompanying task book contains ten pre-written adventures with scripted action guidelines. The quests are aimed at an adventure group of two to five heroes who explore dangerous places and try to free Elethorn from the control of the villain Zargon.
Completion of the first narrative campaign
There is a bit of melancholy. Because: The Moon of Terror forms the conclusion of the broader plot that was published in the adventure pack The Mage of the Mirror, the first major expansion of HeroQuest after the relaunch in 2020.
The official description states: “The story of betrayal and unrest in the Elven Kingdom continues in the HeroQuest expansion “The Moon of Terror”. A brave knight joins the heroes to finally free Elethorn from Zargon's dark clutches. Here, players face exciting challenges as they enlist the help of the Ravenshroud Squad to stop Zargorn's forces from destroying the kingdom. You have to traverse a labyrinth of waterways in an underground city. But Zargon’s powers grow stronger with the rise of the Moon of Terror.”
The adventure pack specifically contains 29 miniatures, including pieces of furniture, elf warriors, terror cultists, ghosts and a bogeyman.
This extension provides loud Hasbro “even more ways to delve deeper into the world of HeroQuest. Players can also invent their own stories and create their own adventures.” Game fans can repeat the adventures as often as they like after successfully completing them - and ultimately create their own missions or entire campaigns with the materials they have available, using the various miniatures, cards and tokens can be combined to create new quests.
HeroQuest from 2020 is a new edition of the classic from 1989. At that time, the game came onto the market as part of a cooperation between Games Workshop and Milton Bradley (MB). HeroQuest is now considered a pioneer of modern dungeon crawling and one of the most influential board games for the scene. Based on the HeroQuest ideas, many similar board games have been conceived and brought to market over the decades. Until the relaunch around three years ago, HeroQuest was considered a collector's item.
Although The Moon of Terror marks the end of the first major campaign, if its success continues it is quite likely that Hasbro will develop new expansions.
