The Heroscape Board Game Test

Rate this test:

Written by Karkadinn

  • Once, there was a bleak void of blind purchase games sustained by artificial rarity, strict price control, intentional obsolescence, and price gouging. Collectible games, they were called, and many a gamer went broke in their addiction. But then a light was shined into the darkness, and Heroscape was born! A bold, brave new concept, just as expandable as any 'collectible' blind purchase game, but with an important difference: if you wanted a figure, you just bought the box it was in, end of story! The people rejoiced, and embraced this revolutionary game of hexes and miniatures. How much do YOU love Heroscape? Take this challenge and find out where you stand.
