Do I need HeroQuest to play Advanced HeroQuest?
• A: No. The similar names may be a misnomer, although they are indeed related. They are different, completely self-contained games, more or less set in the same Warhammer universe. They are not compatible, although AHQ includes optional rules that allow you to “convert” your HQ characters over to the new system. More specifically, statistics are given for the Dwarf Warrior, Barbarian, “High Elf” and Wizard, and there are rules for making use of the old floorplan board, furniture pieces, and new statistics for treasure items. The monster pieces are also useful in AHQ as well, as statistics are given for them.
