In the HeroQuest: The Frozen Horror expansion, players must destroy the evil Frozen Horror, a ferocious creature that threatens the icy realm of the Northlands. The powerful Barbarian must survive a series of dangerous solo quests, with success bringing other heroes to join him. Quality-of-life additions, such as new combat and movement dice (blue because it's cold!) and a pad of more detailed character sheets, weren't essential but do enhance the experience. It's hard to tell if there are any females this time. All the ice gremlins appear to have beards and the mercs are dupes of each other which was a little surprising after the coed nature of the game system (to be fair a lot of the female characters were pledge exclusives, but not all, we had female orcs, goblins and the elf).

Frozen Horror Heroquest Review | Zatu Games UK

For the heroes, there are new inventory items to spend your hard-earned gold and new quest items to earn; just be sure to fully explore each dungeon to find those secret rooms. One common issue experienced by many parties playing through the various campaigns is that it is possible to get to a point where you've obtained all of the good items from the inventory shop, and you end up with mountains of gold you can't use. The Frozen Horror helps answer this by introducing Mercenaries (hired help) available for a single quest. These can take the form of the Scout, Swordsman, Archer or Halberdier, each with their strengths and weaknesses. Each are fully represented by miniatures and are controlled by the player who hired them. There are also multiple copies of each mercenary to allow players to hire several of each type if desired. This expansion gives you more opportunities to delve deeper into the HeroQuest game, and adds to the replayability. Players can also create their own stories and build their own quests Considering the number of miniatures you get, it is a very compact box. It complements the base game nicely, making all monsters and companions easily accessible. In Hero Quest fashion, all items fit into plastic moulded compartments. It stops everything moving around in transit, but some miniatures can feel too snug and offer a small challenge to get out. The Rulebook Appelcline, Shannon (2011). Designers & Dragons.

[ citation needed] New treasure, inventory and artefact cards for all players, including items tailored for the Barbarian (he or she is the focus in this campaign, after all) Who knows if the prices are going to be changed (maybe allow them to be hired in 1-3, or give a discount on the retainer fee as in Wizards of Morcar?). Still the mere fact that the number has doubled would be a big help all by itself (the 1992 rules state heroes can hire as many as they can afford), as that's another 12 body points potentially added to the party (unlike the EU mercs, they can be healed if they are at 1 BP, to their max of 2... assuming they haven't been boosted in strength at all). So the party's overall strength would increase to (again if the numbers are unchanged) 49 from the 37 of the original if nothing else is changed.
