Ever since the board game (not the RPG) HeroQuest came out from Games Worshop & Milton Bradley, the makers of D&D have been trying to ape it.

I think TSR put out no less than four attempts at the dungeon board game with miniatures. There was DragonQuest (an introduction to basic D&D, not the SPI game) FirstQuest, DragonStrike

There have been various other sets, but many of them contained similar material to the above if altered slightly or under a different name.

So now we have this one.

Is it as elegant as HeroQuest? I'm not sure, but the above were not.

But then, as popular as HeroQuest may have been or is today, it's out of print now and attempts to revive it (Advanced HeroQuest, Warhammer Quest) did not last long.

I guess this style of play is just not long-lived enough to support a product on the market.
