It's only a little update but has anyone else seen the poll they've posted?

No idea if it's only available for backers or to everyone, but they're giving people a chance to choose what we want to have on the other side of the additional room tiles. Nothing massive but it's cool to see that they're open to suggestions.

9 days left for those stretch goals!

Into the last week - 7 days left.

and the last hero - the Elf




The resin scenery is available separately now but for €49 you might as well get the full game for €65

Really liking the Elf, probably my favourite of the heroes .

Well thank you all for this great thread.
I am on-and-off out of the loop where my hobby of wargaming is concerned so dont always keep up with the news.
Being a longtime fan of Heroquest (old set in wardrobe) this project I find fantastic.
Why do I need a new set when I have the old, good question, though the minis and production values look fantastic.
Also, im a collector, so if I dont have this then a bit of my set will be missing

Anyways, lets hope the potential issues are avoided and this set gets its full production run.

Ive just pledged my tier-3 support so lets hope it all goes well.

Now to worry about the potential buckets of new stuff that they might release on their Heroquest website after December, that I wont be able to afford haha.

Cheers for this thread and the heads-up it gave me.

HeroQuest 25th Anniversary, Founder Edition
for the backers

HeroQuest 25th Anniversary, Retail Edition
"This is the anniversary edition That will reach the stores in Spain and the others ultimately from countries and distributors with Which We reach a distribution agreement With. It will be available on Christmas 2014 while stock lasts at a price Between 85 and 95 euros."

HeroQuest Classic
"Identical to the ones with previously described, except for the box design and the lack of any reference to the 25th anniversary. This will be the only edition you will find in stores Regularly (including ours) from 2015 onwards."

In the US, it's unlikely you can get any of the versions from a US retail store, because of IP issues. At the worse, the game will be shipped to KS backers, and Hasbro has them seized at customs.

@Cypher and @All: Better do your due diligence and slog through the flame on BoardGameGeek about the HeroQuest IP. A sleeping giant doesn't always wake, but, last I heard, GZ hasn't produced a written statement from Hasbro that they won't take legal action, and Hasbro hasn't sent them any legal notice.

So I am new to crowd funding and I have a few questions:

1. Can I back this twice at the 3rd level to grab everything twice?

2. When do I pay for shipping? How?

3. When do I pay? Need the funds ready in my account?

Thanks to whomever replies!

Yes just enter €220 instead of €110 and enter a comment that it's for 2 sets

2. When do I pay for shipping? How?

You will be billed separately for shipping later as they are going to bill for shipping on actual shipping prices. Don't enter anything now for shipping but be prepared for a separate shipping bill of €30 per set or so later.

3. When do I pay? Need the funds ready in my account?

Credit cards are charged straight away paypal charges are being held until just after the funding ends on Sunday.

Thanks to whomever replies!

I'd recommend doing some research on this and being aware of the risks involved in this project more so than any other crowd funding project there's a chance that Hasbro might try to take action against Gamezone later on and tie the whole project up legally. There is a chance you might never see anything from this project equally it could all be fine but as with all crowd funding never commit more funds that you are prepared to lose if it all goes pear shaped.

For my own part I'm willing to gamble €110 on this I understand the risks involved and if. I lose out so be it but hopefully I'll have a fancy new set of Heroquest stuff to go with my old set next Christmas. That said I haven't backed yet and won't back until the last day just to be sure that the funding at least runs it's full course and there are no last minute problems. Once you back on Lanzanos you can't cancel it yourself you have to go through their customer support I'd rather just wait until the last few hours.

I want in on this but cant pay right now.
When will I be billed if I back?

Europe postage is also a bit steep.

Oh I am aware of the background and am more then willing to lose €300 if this goes belly up.

That said I am still hoping someone can answer my 3 questions in regard to crowd funding.

Thanks for the advice on waiting, that is what I have been doing as well.

Thanks for answering my questions as well. HUGE help mate! I remember opening the game on X-mas for the first time! My dad is an Italian immigrant and we were little so we were pronouncing the chaos warroirs, ch-ows instead of k-aos until my American mom came in curious as to what the heck we were saying and corrected us

So many fond memories of this game.

Ah grand so I remember opening this game myself - 25 years ago! and the funny thing is I was in Spain at the time - sorry I edited the 3 answers into the quote.

While I've been adding things to this thread to keep it up to date I just wanted to stress to people (especially those new to crowd funding) the risks involved in this crowd funder but like I said I'm prepared to take that risk.

Anyway 2 new videos

She -some sort of boss monster




and the Wraith

I think the charity shop original (not complete as usual) I've picked up today might just have enough bits to let me rebuild a complete set with the bits I already have

time for a few games to see how the nostalgia holds up in real life before I decide on this one

On Lanzanos, backers are billed as soon as the project is funded. So you would be billed immediately upon pledging.

GZ will give you a Heroquest online store voucher equal to the shipping you pay. The store is targeted for Christmas next year to open.

Good luck!

Is there no way to add funds later through a pledge manager/PayPal? Say put in €50 now and the rest in a couple of weeks when items sell on ebay or when I get paid at the end of the month.

On Kickstarter I would have backed it, but with all the changes and site jumping I have decided to skip it and wait for retail.

If I get it at all, not 100% as I was before to be honest,

1. Yes, apparently you just have to back the 110 pledge level, change the amount to 220€ and put a comment in the box to say you want two full sets with all the stretch goals.

2.apparently the price isn't 100% set in stone yet. It depends on the number of stretch goals unlocked and therefore the size of the box(es) needed to fit it all in. The prices listed are rough guidelines, but they will contact all backers when stuff is finalised to confirm the precise cost, which will be paid at that point. Who knows when that will be though, some time between Sunday and December! As others have said, they give you store credit equal to the shipping costs.

3. They say that you should be charged immedeatly after backing the project (after it reached its goal). But I backed it a couple of weeks ago now and the paypal transaction hasn't gone through. Been sat there authorized for ages, they just haven't taken it yet.

Does lanzanos or GZ send out emails when there is an update? I backed a couple weeks ago and unless I periodically go to the site, I have no idea what's new. Trying to figure out if mail is getting blocked somewhere or not.

They don't seem to send out mails, no, you have to check the page.

Thanks, guess I've just been conditioned by KS to expect an e-mail every time there's an update.

Just got word from Paypal that my money will be transfered although the project still has 2 days to finish. Am I the only one or are more people billed? I don't mind as the project is funded, it is rather strange that you get billed a few days before it ended, no?

Unlike Kickstarter Lanzanos takes payment when the project hits 100% funded whether the project is finished or not for this project they delayed taking Paypal payments but they appear to be processing them now that there's only a day or 2 left.

Thanks for the info!

How do you actually contact Gamzone on this project to ask them a question?

Anyone else getting emails saying the paypal is not collecting and then asking for a credit card?

When is this over? It says one day left... don't want to miss the boat but I'm stuck at work!

So I just read that they're gonna toss in a dragon in resin, and my reaction was "don't these things cost a lot of money to make"? Torn Armor isn't the first project or KS project that underestimated its costs, but sure makes it salient for miniature boardgamers. Anyone have a guesstimate?

I swear, after this RAFM Cthulhu Mini's KS, I'm gonna stop. Okay, after this RAFM Cthulhu Mini's KS *and* the Dwarven Forge Caverns KS I'm gonna stop. Okay...

My pledge has been debited from my PayPal account, although not yet from my bank account so not here.

GZ are an established model making company that have been doing this for years, I'm sure they'll be able to produce all the minatures that they say they're going to without any trouble.

In fact, the production of the game to a high standard is one of the few things I'm not worried about in this this crowd funding
