It’s a great expansion for the base Hero Quest game with lots of new furniture and a whole new quest book to work thorough.
A most for any heroquest fan brings more depth to the game. Huge fan! Great quality of minis.
Tra le espansioni di HeroQuest, Mage of the Mirror la pi “stilosa” e ben curata.
The amount of figures and stuff in this is fantastic. Great quality. Can’t recommend it more !
We havent plyaed yet, but my husband is very excited for it. It came in great condition. Very happry.
Arrived Safe and secure via International Posting from Australia to New Zealand.
After purchasing the AH re-release of Hero Quest, Kellars Keep, The Return of the Witch Lord. Rogue of Elthone and Frozen Horror it is only certain that I would purchase The Mage Of the Mirror. I was that keen that I preordered it and at discount also.
Now I am deep in Painting mode. Having fun painting the miniatures a second time. Learning new techniques to paint. ..So I can get on the table and Quest o
Fantastic expansion to the popular board game the figures are very detailed as well as the board components
Been waiting on this and looking forward to playing it- as usual, excellent quality components. Base game needed to play.
Like: it is a well-designed and made product and an excellent addition to the HeroQuest board game.
Dislike: Avalon Hill is awesome. It’s Hasbro and WotC that’s the problem. At least Avalon Hill is still turning out a good product. Hasbro’s other gaming companies are trying to flood the market with overpriced Magic the Gathering cards and trying to end the open license for Dungeons & Dragons. Please Avalon Hill be the cool one in the group and don’t treat your customers like an obstacle between you and their money.
Love that there’s an all new expansion to this amazing game! It’s a great midpoint between board game and dungeons and dragons role playing.
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.
This is the best set they’ve released yet. Only thing I can fault would be the tiles are made of a lesser material than the previous sets. Not a terrible product choice since do have the originals and they are just thin card stock anyway. Awesome set, don’t miss it!
