Avalon Hill Announces: HeroQuest: Wizards of Morcar Quest Pack

Great news for dungeon crawling fans! Avalon Hill has officially revealed and opened pre-orders for the HeroQuest: Wizards of Morcar Quest Pack, bringing back the final piece of the original HeroQuest content for the game’s modern, acclaimed edition.

This expansion is a nostalgic return to one of the most beloved—and previously one of the most elusive—adventures from the classic 1990s tabletop fantasy world.

The Return of Dread Magic

The Wizards of Morcar expansion is not a standalone game; it is a Quest Pack for the HeroQuest Game System (sold separately). It plunges the Heroes into a direct battle against the forces of Dread Magic.

The evil sorcerer Zargon is attempting to unlock the legendary power of 1,000 Dread Sorcerers locked away in the High Altar of the Northern Dread Wastes. It is up to the players to stop him before he becomes unstoppable.

Key Features of the Quest Pack:

• 10 Perilous Quests: The Quest Pack features 5 original quests based on the 1991 European-exclusive release, plus 5 all-new quests to expand the story and challenge veterans.
• 27 Finely Detailed Miniatures: The pack introduces new figures, including an alternate Wizard Hero sculpt and powerful new enemy Sorcerers, giving the HeroQuest collection a major boost of new villains.
• New Game Mechanics: Wizards of Morcar brings an exciting skill acquisition system where Heroes can visit locations like “Hopekin’s Rest” to acquire “Boons of Heroism,” allowing characters to grow and progress in fresh ways.
• New Spells and Cards: Prepare to face new Chaos Spell Cards from Zargon’s wizards, alongside new Wizard and Elf Spell Cards for the Heroes to use, including the potent Spells of Protection and Spells of Darkness.
• Mercenaries: The original European version introduced the ability to hire Men-at-Arms (Mercenaries). While full details are pending on the modern implementation, the pack includes new cards, hinting at their return to aid the Heroes.

Release Date and Pre-Order Details

The HeroQuest: Wizards of Morcar Quest Pack is now available for pre-order and is expected to hit shelves in March 2026.
