Joe Manganiello Designed HeroQuest Board Games Latest Quest Pack
The classic dungeon-crawling fantasy board game HeroQuest is getting a new expansion on August 1. HeroQuest has received many expansions over its 35-plus year history, but The Crypt of Perpetual Darkness Quest Pack has a unique hook: It was written and designed by massive tabletop RPG fan and actor Joe Manganiello (Zack Snyder's Justice League, Magic Mike, True Blood). This expansion was previously exclusive to crowdfunding backers for HeroQuest's relaunch, but soon all players will be able to embark on quests created by Manganiello.
You can preorder Joe Manganiello's The Crypt of Perpetual Darkness Quest Pack at Amazon for $35. While Amazon currently lists the release date as August 1, your local game store might have copies starting July 15. To play the expansion, you will either need a copy of HeroQuest Game System or HeroQuest: First Light.
