HeroQuest Advanced Quest Edition (also known by the German version name "HeroQuest Master Edition") is Milton Bradley's approach to a Dungeons & Dragons-style adventure game. One player acts as game master, revealing the maze-like dungeon piecemeal as the players wander. Up to four other players take on a character (wizard, elf, dwarf or barbarian) and venture forth into dungeons on fantasy quests. Miniature plastic characters and doll-house style furniture make this game very approachable. Expansions were also released for this system. The HeroQuest series consists of the main game and number of expansions. HeroQuest Advanced Quest Edition adds 12 miniatures ("black guards") with 4 kinds of detachable weapons and a new 13 part adventure "The Dark Company" to the basic HeroQuest Box.
