Game-breaking bugs in the app if using it as the Dungeon Master. Enemies with ranged weapons can fire through other characters, enemies occupying the same space as heroes or escaping monsters, causing the game to become unresponsive. Note, while this review is not on the app, this is provided for information. It is possible any issues could be corrected as the app is often updated. Just something to keep in mind at the time of writing of this review Component-wise, I really like the attention given to the little thematic extras, like the new door design and the thematic dice. The miniatures look like great designs, much more in line with the original concepts as updates, than did the core or first two expansions. If I were to point to a production missed opportunity here, it would be that AH could have designed a new thematic game board (As a separate standalone product). It's not too late but I don't see it happening.For the heroes, there are new inventory items to spend your hard-earned gold and new quest items to earn; just be sure to fully explore each dungeon to find those secret rooms. One common issue experienced by many parties playing through the various campaigns is that it is possible to get to a point where you’ve obtained all of the good items from the inventory shop, and you end up with mountains of gold you can’t use. The Frozen Horror helps answer this by introducing Mercenaries (hired help) available for a single quest. These can take the form of the Scout, Swordsman, Archer or Halberdier, each with their strengths and weaknesses. Each are fully represented by miniatures and are controlled by the player who hired them. There are also multiple copies of each mercenary to allow players to hire several of each type if desired.

Setting up the game will be very familiar for HeroQuest gamers. Get the base game ready and have the Frozen Horror game nearby to grab tiles or miniatures when needed. The Dungeon Master, or a nominated player if using the app, will set up the board according to the quest book and when new items need to be placed as rooms are discovered. Quality-of-life additions, such as new combat and movement dice (blue because it's cold!) and a pad of more detailed character sheets, weren't essential but do enhance the experience. Speaking of the Guardian Knight, that "Barbarian" looks very much like one, down to the pose and choice of weapons/armor, since if I recall correctly, those characters were wearing fur trimmed outfits already (guess the cover is just depicting the game system barbarian, like the original did). A concession to the disgruntled fans perhaps?Estimated ship date subject to change, items may ship earlier or later than anticipated without notice In short, I am willing to accept the product as advertised to be a real thing. I will for my part, keep my expectations low on the quality of the edits and delivery dates. I suspect that we will receive a quest book largely unchanged beyond IP references re-written. I also do not expect the Frozen Horror expansion to be available at retail until perhaps this time next year. Will your adventurers survive the harsh Northlands, or will the Frozen Horror reign supreme? The Quest is calling! Considering the number of miniatures you get, it is a very compact box. It complements the base game nicely, making all monsters and companions easily accessible. In Hero Quest fashion, all items fit into plastic moulded compartments. It stops everything moving around in transit, but some miniatures can feel too snug and offer a small challenge to get out. The Rulebook The cards and booklets in this chilling expansion feature artwork that takes players' imaginations into a frozen world filled with monsters, deadly traps, and more
