I don't believe any of the other games do.Of the two, Descent by far is the better game, though much more complex.Descent and Heroquest both require someone to take on a DM role.The D&D system games (Ravenloft, Ashardalon, and Drizzt) are lighter than Descent, though probably on par with Heroquest in terms of complexity. They are pretty much one shot games, but have the benefit of being fully cooperative. The players all play together against the game. No one needs to be a DM.Talisman and Runebound are both fun as well. I have Talisman 3e and 4e with all the expansions for both. Its a one shot game and with lots of players and expansions in play can take 5 to 6 hours unless you use variant rules to speed things up. But its a lot of fun when D&D night is cancelled and you just want kick back with fellow geeks and drink a beer or two.</blockquote>
