Editing Advanced HeroQuest (section)

==Reception==
In the January 1990 edition  of ''[[Games International]]'' (Issue 12), Philip A. Murphy's original impression was that this was exactly the same game as the original ''HeroQuest'', albeit produced by Games Workshop rather than Milton-Bradley. Nevertheless he admired the production values, calling all the components "a true delight and all other producers [...] could learn a lesson from GW's attention to quality components." However, Murphy did not like "the constant references, by word and image, to ''[[Warhammer (game)|Warhammer]]'' this, ''Warhammer'' that, [[Citadel miniatures]], Citadel paints, future supplements and ''[[White Dwarf (magazine)|White Dwarf]]'' magazine." While he felt that the original game by Milton-Bradley "had been rushed out of production [...] and could have been much better with more playtesting", Murphy felt that ''Advanced HeroQuest'' had the opposite problem, calling it "overproduced and a tad too complex." He concluded by giving the game an average rating of 3 out of 5, saying "it should be magnificent, and indeed at times it is. But just as often, it's a great disappointment."<ref name=gi>{{cite magazine|last=Murphy|first=Philip A.| date=January 1990 |title=Advanced HeroQuest|journal=[[Games International]]| issue=12|pages=8–9}}</ref>

The German website ''Spielphase'' gave the game a rating of 5 out of 6, saying, "You get a lot of material for your money. [...]  Even if I'm not a big fan of role-playing games or thematically related board games, I have to acknowledge that a reality is represented quite well by tables and a varied game is possible over a long period of time."<ref>{{cite web  | url =http://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/keirat/txt/H/Herrdess.html | title =Herr des Schwertes| website =Spielphase | access-date =2020-10-13 | language = de}}</ref>
