More treasure more equip cards? They both look like dwarfs too me. Love the idea of fighting apes, spiders and a snake type thing? How it plays on the board game wow . Looking forward to this. Nice vid Ash 😊

I would be shocked if JoD wasn't for sale at GenCon this year (it will certainly be playable there). if we take that as a wishful assumption, then probably others will get it the 2nd week of August. then again, what if they release it early? I guess that's always possible. the sessions at GC advertise as you will be among the first to play it (we'll see how that goes)

24:41 there’s already “High Mages” in PoT that were Skeleton mages. We need official minis now!!

Gotrek and Felix vibes. Awesome. Why not. Bring on the lore, bring it on.

I think we'll get Wizards of Morcar. They seem to be staggering releases with new expansions and revised old versions, so my money is on Wizards of Morcar coming out after Jungles.

New heroes is okay. Especially if the dwarf is the same as the female Dwarf from the Mythic Tier box. However, we already have a lot of heroes. New monster types and more terrain would be awesome. I'm really excited to see the gorilla, snake, and spider enemies on the cover.

ranger / adventurer/ hunter /shaman, I hope they are good, dwarf and barb alternative. maybe treasure without doom type ability, whatever happens I'm excited to get another dwarf.

I would love to see a 2 heroes + 1 zargon campaign or quest line for this, similar to the Barbarian/Elf quest packs. Honestly, getting two players is much easier than four players a lot of the time, and definitely more fun than just a single hero player.

This is FANtastic.... A 2nd original from AH. Love it. For the Zargons (Morcars) out there, there are some more characters for the arsenal to use against the heroes. Additional heroes to add for balance. Can we ask for more?? Well, yes, we can.. spiders, snakes, or serpent (possibly a boss---Yes). Gorilla addition. These all make a great change in the environment of challenges to the heroes. Can't wait to see the back of the box reveal. Credit Card is ready. letssssssss ( 🐍 ) go.

Love the sacrificial altar idea, and web tiles. This stuff is everywhere on etsy but I would vastly prefer it straight from AH!

I hadn't really thought about it until you said "These are NOT the same heroes" (meaning the vanilla Dwarf and Barbarian), but what if these ARE the same CLASS of hero? For example, they could both be rangers (a female dwarf ranger and a male human ranger). It would be pretty cool to have the same CLASS of hero be two different RACES, as well as genders. Anyway, we don't have any specific ranged class of hero, so having heroes that start with a bow and have a "Steady Aim" or "Puncture" skill would be pretty great. They could also be some custom class like "Raider" or "Treasure Hunter", or possibly "Thieves". Speculation rules! Thanks for the video!

Oh yeah, I'm fully on board with that - the idea sounds like these should totally be playable with the heroes we have at the same time, and that tells me they're just technically different enough to be used in a viable party with those heroes. Betting on Ranger being the big idea here as well!

@@AshQuest Correction, Warlock is technically already a ranged class with her starting wand, so we do have one, but yeah, Rangers would be great.

My money is on they are both dwarves, new Hunter class inspired by WoW. A charm animal ability, a "keep one potion you've drank" ability, and a direct damage ability. Around dwarf stats. I am in the camp that dwarf and barbarian are slowly fading into the background with all the variety that is coming out. Barbarians whole thing is early campaign damage that is quickly equalled. At least the dwarf doesn't need a toolbelt.

Would love to see pygmies with blowpipes and poisonous darts as a continuation of the poison theme. The green stone on the gorilla could be like warpstone is to skaven and give it additional abilities/powers.

The chest looks like a dwarvish design. Can't wait!

They are also teasing Talisman and an expansion. Here is the description: The Portal of Power opens once more… Experience the first expansion to the 5th edition of Talisman the Magical Quest Game this year at GenCon, ahead of its release! Stay tuned this Spring and Summer for more information!

Dragori Games Arena and Tunares have the choose your own adventure type story. Very cool and replayable. That game is actually what inspired my custom HQ campaign we're playing now.

@AshQuest. Thank you unreservedly for your coverage, so eloquently expressed & with balance as per. I have been chomping at the bit for your input on this. With this box art, I’m immediately taken back to horrific scenes in Peter Jackson’s King Kong [ circa 2005 ]. Refer to ravine flora & fauna scene 😱. The jungle biome is completely in-keeping, should HeroQuest intend expand its lore, world & audience. & so it should. Jungles would lend itself to the elusive ‘wilds’ as referee to in TPOTWM. After all this expansion introduces ‘choose your own adventure’ … or path remember the monks tournament map? My initial reservations are what tokens will feature where they should really be miniatures instead & what tile overlays should not be missed out [ think Prophecy of Telor for example ]. 7:02 The ‘hunter’s’ weapon is a nod to the Q.C. production quality of the miniature’s from the mythic tier [ think water shock work around ]. Me wanty DWARF TOSS, Me wanty DWARF TOSS. 15:31 Ape seems to be holding a bejewelled bone weaponry. 17:27 I’ll have issue handling the arachnids sure but that’s a personal ick. Some arachnids lack the red circles on their abdomens. Do the others represent fresh hatchling swarms 🪺🤢. As much as it creeps me out, how IMMERSIVE would it be to mechanise as I have called it many moons ago: bite > symptoms > contagion > parasite > hosting > cordyceps > chest burst > duplicity > sabotage > alchemy > cures. I’m mixing a lot of wishes here based on films like The Thing, Alien, Last Of Us! 18:13 Regarding the WOZ/M … “He arrives precisely when he means to.” - Gandalf the Grey circa 22 September, T.A. 300 18:46 / 23:03 Official bloopers channel, support @Amalgamash, do I. 😜 Elephant in the room … “subject to availability”, is the flow of HQ base box peaking! 28:35 I’m drawn to the Labyrinth ‘86 movie | 2 door riddle 😵‍💫 30:53 Living for this ´… like you just stepped out of a [dunge]on 🎼 🎵 🎶.

Or, or… in order to make ‘fellowships’ more dynamic, I may title an elf character with ‘[insert name here], the Dwarf Tosser’ 🤣

I think from the info. They are the chosen heroes to be sent on a treasure hunt to try finding the dwarven relic. Lots of treasure hunt quests intill finally we find the relic. 😅

That "barbarian" could be a whole new class. Maybe a berserker or ranger?

Main question I have is, do they use this box as a way of getting Crypt of Perpetual Darkness tiles into retail? The grasping vines, ruined temple, acid pools and dread skulls? Feels like a good opportunity and they would fit nicely into the Jungle theme - and it would only leave the Dragon to be released from Mythic tier (maybe the Inn from the other side of the temple - although I assume even Jungle Dwarves will have need for a good bar). And could the spider's come as swarms, with multiple on each base? I think the Snake will take up multiple spaces judging by the picture.

Just comeback from Games Expo UK saw a copy of the game in play. It is good. Two new Heroes? There were a couple of red mini a lion a reptile. Definitely An Explorer dwarf type character and a Berserker a human carrying a very large bone axe poison features in this game, with tiles like from the orgre hoard. Green cultists, Big Snake Big Spider Big Ape carrying a club. Awesome can't wait for release.

The dude with an ax could be a mercenary.

Could this actually be the Dwarf expansion quest (with 3 solo quests exclusive to the dwarf, and 7 quests with the whole team)? The Barbarian and Elfe expansion quest gave us a model from the other gender of each of these characters, so we could be expecting the same with the dwarf right here. As for the barbarian on this picture, this could actually be another class of character such as the knight was in the Dread Moon expansion. Maybe a hunter, or a treasure hunter, or a trap setter, or a bodyguard? That's just my expectations here...

First Light! Only speculation exists on what it could be exactly, though!

Excited about more expansions, but I’m not a fan of the box art, it doesn’t match the fantasy art direction of the other expansions imo. The monsters feel too cartoonish and goofy (especially the gorilla and snake) almost like a Dora the explorer cover rather than a deadly jungle as it should be.

HerQuest, to me at least, is about fighting monsters. Not animals =/

Here’s hoping the gorilla is a new hero/mercenary instead of a straight up enemy.

Definitely a series of misunderstandings! Easy to clear up though. *Avalon Hill* stated that they cannot take suggestions directly - those aren't my words but theirs, and it makes sense from a legal and accountability standpoint. Next up, I can't say who the first person was to come up with a set of Barbarian skills, but rest assured it was back in the late 80s when the first edition came out; mired in Sword and Sorcery, its only natural to come up with sets of abilities for the two heroes that don't have any, and -- if you'll pardon me -- it is hardly an original thing to do, so the real challenge from the dev standpoint is "how can we make this fit with the narrative of HQ and answer the most fan demand?" So any such suggestion would -- and SHOULD -- fall on deaf ears. It does seem unfortunately difficult for a lot of folks to reach customer service at hasbro/avalon hill, but there's no question that they have eyes and ears in the HQ communities, not to mention their Instagram account which is from where all their official news and updates now come. I hope that helps!
