In case anyone wasn't aware, Hasbro is republishing the original HeroQuest board game, albeit with updated miniatures and a few other upgrades. Two options are available, the original set for $100 and the core set and two expansions for $150.

That was a fun one to play BITD on the occasional weekends when the gaming group couldn't meet for some AD&D.

I still have my original copy of the board game and the Kellar's Keep expansion. A lot of the mini's have broken, but most of the furniture and what not is still intact. After all my cross country moves I'm a little impressed by that. I always did enjoy playing this with whoever I could get to play. I did pick up a Table Top Simulator version a couple of years ago. It was quite enjoyable. I doubt I'll by the new version, but I'd definitely play a few rounds again.

That's awesome Sam, if we ever get together for a group play, we should definitely play a few adventure sessions. I'm toying with the idea of getting the updated set. I had the original back in the day, but over years and through many moves it's gotten messed up or pieces lost.

Emphasis mine.
Agreed! That would be some good fun. 8-)

Someone reviewed the 2021 version vs 1989:
