Tsequest has a new website with a news section!

Box lids have been printed

If you can read Spanish, the Darkstone forums have some discussion here : https://www.darkstone.es/index.php?topic=179.msg504191#msg504191

Aitor's comment on BGG:

As many of you already know, Ludofilia posted photos of freshly printed empty Tsuequest boxes. Like this:

From FB

There was no further explanation attached, so I waited some days to see if more info could appear. But it didn't, and the Darkstone thread has started to digress. So I'm bringing here the little Darkstone cleared up about it:

Those photos aren't fake, in the sense they are not photoshopped nor staged. That is probably LudoFact, the german printer Ludofilia announced they would print with. That would explain why in some of the photos we can see piles of games from other publishers. Most probably Ludofact took and sent these photos to Ludofilia and Ludofilia disclosed them for a confidence boost. Darkstone users reminded us that Ludofilia is still selling Tseuquest preorders in their online shop and preordering the game unlocks bonus stuff.

Also, if Ludofilia paid for this printing, those boxes (and the rest of the cardboard from LudoFact) will probably travel to Seville and be ensembled into complete copies of Tsuequest. Don't know who's gonna pay for it, but I don't know either who paid for the printing of the boxes.

So, is that it? Is the "Spanish Heroquest" going to be made, albeit with another name and different system? Well, some people are believing that, you can believe that too, but now comes the skeptic part.

A year ago, Darkstone user Sevilla came with the rumor that Ludofilia was trying very hard to make a small print run of the game, in order for the game to exist before the trial ended. According to him, this could boost Dionisio's position both in the trial and in the trademark struggle with Hasbro. The chapter of the trademark already ended, so that didn't happen, but having some copies of your game existing, or even being reviewed by influencers would mean you could not be a scammer, wouldn't it? (at least judging by common sense, as IANAL)
Source

But after the trial, Ludofilia would have to keep producing copies of the game to: fulfill all its backer rewards and, gain enough money to make up for all the publicly disclosed debt we know about.

Is that really going to happen? How many copies have they printed already, and in which hands are they going to end? Shops first? Members of the victims association first? Inner circle and youtubers first? Who's gonna promote the game? The most loyal influencers to Dioni already jumped off ship...

And even if Sevilla is completely wrong and Ludofilia goes full good intentions and rainbows, and keeps printing copies like crazy, would they be able to sell enough of them in the current market? Only time will tell.

There is that! Though I’m surprised they have any paying backers left. It’s been so long, and they’ve been so full of hollow promises you think folk would’ve clawed their money back by now.

The problem is they won’t give refunds (not that they have the money to) and by the time it became clear there was an issue the charge back option was long gone so if you backed you just have to hang on and see if you get something some day. They even tried to use the fact that the majority of backers had stayed as part of their defence - yes because they had no other choice!

I’ve long since bought Hasbro’s HQ but I’ll still be in line for what I’m owed by Gamezone and that was made very clear to them when I got my charge back for the swap offer.

I didn't back it at the time, but came much closer to backing that than I did picking up the new Hasbro version. Mostly because teenage me very much enjoyed Hero Quest, but 30-something me considers the gameplay quite shallow, boring and repetitive. Something with the feel and style of what I liked as a kid, updated with a modern gameplay system, was appealing.

If this ever comes out, maybe it'll still be that. But it's not going to come out.

Nice although I do find the alt sculpts of the furniture an odd choice - still hoping for Against the Ogre Horde at some point at least now there will be one Ogre design.

The Mage of the Mirror will include a Quest Book featuring 10 quests, 33 finely detailed miniatures, and 35 game cards that will expand the game for both Zargon and the heroes. This expansion is expected to release in the Spring of 2023 and requires the HeroQuest Game System to play (sold separately).

Just got the Frozen Horror. Really seems like a set that will add some meaningful features to the game without taking it too far.

Will probably play the solo scenarios with my wife once we decide who will be Zargon.

Hints at a new expansion that's not a remake of a previous one, while it looks a bit suspect the image came from Avalon Hill themselves.

I don't know what it is, but I will buy it!.

Really great to see that Heroquest has survived past the milestones of Crowdfunding, then retail, then release of most crowdfunded add-ons, and now what looks like multiple additional expansions.

Shouldn't the specters attack Mind rather than just a red die roll? Seems like a missed opportunity there to me.

But I won't turn down an opportunity for more monsters (or heroes). In fact, I've been going through my old 1E MM for good candidates to stat up in HQ. I just now need some guinea pigs to test them on...

Also, has there been any word they'll do the Wizards of Morcar at some point that I may have missed?

It never ends well 
   
Made in ie

No word yet, they have confirmed they have the rights to all expansions but WoM and Against the Ogre Horde were based on the European ruleset whereas the rerelease and all expansions to date are based on the US rules so they would have a tweak them to fit the current rules - also Morcar is Zargon in the US version so the expansion would need a name change.

Apparently the original Wizard Quest pack which is the US version of WoM was well developed but never released and the Dwarf Quest was less so, Avalon Hill have these versions so they might develop them rather than rework WoM and ATOH.
