Mark Green's Summary:

Fun, easy and fast (if unchallenging) dungeon hacking board game; but is it a good route to RPGs, and how long can it last?

Go to the full review for more information.

Does anyone know if/when this will be available in the U.S.?

Also, what is the link to the website?

Thank!

They obviously think quite highly of their website. It has been giving out a SQLserver error for over a week.

The game is rather nice, and it does one thing that NO other Heroquest clone has really ever done. Stuff. Looking at their 11 adventures, there is TONS of treasure. Every bit of treasure is on a unique card, and there are more chests than monsters in most dungeons. Much of your character progression seems based on loot. In a good, wholesome Diablo sort of way.

I have most of these games, and the only two to ever get around the downtime issue are:

Dragonstrike (TSR). Uses a limited number of turns to each adventure.

Warhammer Quest (GW). Has millions of wandering monsters.

I wonder if the D&D boardgame could be adapted to include one of these rules in some form.

The U.S. isn't listed on the site. So I doubt it will be released here.

Anyone know of a good online shop in the UK, that ships to the US, that I could order it from?

I took the liberty of copying the URL:s to all 10 (as of now) new items from their website. The FAQ is much harder to do.
