Best "Dungeon Crawl" Board Game(s)?

[Holy Bovine]

Warhammer Quest.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!! While Warhammer Quest (and its predecessor Advanced Heroquest) are excellent, even outstanding games, most people I know are unwilling to either take out that second mortgage or sell vital body organs in order to afford them.

*hoping Warhammer Quest is the next game GW brings out for an anniversary special edition*

 

[Odhanan]

Yeah. Milton Bradley's HeroQuest here too.

Warhammer Quest is by far and wide the best dungeon crawling board game ever!

Just hope that GW will rerelease it like they did with Space Hulk, because it's prohibitively expensive these days.

This. If there was a limited release of Warhammer Quest, I'd say it would disappear overnight. My FLGS has a standing order for three sets for me alone. It would be glorious.

Yeah, if I ever hear about WHQ being re-released I will preorder it from 20 different vendors all over the world or something like that, just to be sure.

I'd be very surprised if WHQ gets released in the short term. Mainly because FFG would have the rights, and it would seem odd to release a game that competes with their major product of Descent.

That said, it might still happen.

Cheers!

That's a very good point. I'd expect it would be a one-shot release with a set number of copies. It would sell out almost instantly and I don't think anyone would expect further support. Just like with Space Hulk, actually. I don't think it would compete with Descent at all, and could really be a quick cash grab for FFG. I wouldn't mind if they took advantage of me, mind you... it would be that good to get a copy of the game again.

I can dream, can't I?

Well, it's not like they are not doing this in other areas (yay for double negation), they have a pretty huge selection there.

P.S. Shiny new buttons!

Wow, I traded my WQ game for a second Blood Bowl board for the league I was in 15 years ago. Never really played it much, either. Had no idea it'd turn into a Space Hulk (now, that game I had fun with).

I've played Descent, Arkham Horror, and Castle Ravenloft at this point.

I find Descent the most enjoyable. I've only played the Overlord so far, but I have a lot of fun doing so.

Castle Ravenloft I'm undecided on. It's fun, but so far it seems a bit easy once you know how to game the system.

Arkham Horror is a very loose definition of dungeon crawl but I can see how some would interpet it that way. If you imagine each location as a different room of the dungeon and your investigators as adventurers it has a lot of the elements including wandering monsters and loot and a big bad. It's fun but very random. You also need the expansions as the core game is way too easy.
