HeroQuest
March 16, 2008
My parents are preparing to move this spring. While cleaning the basement my mom found my old board game, HeroQuest. The last time I played it was about 14 yeas ago! It is a 28mm miniature-based game produced by Games Workshop. Amazingly, all the pieces were still in the box. My daughter loves "spooky" things like goblins and monsters, so she is interested in playing. The game incorporates furniture. The two of us made some beds. My three are pictured bellow. She has yet to paint hers.
Each bed is 1 inch long and .75 in. wide. I made them from two layers of 1/4 in. foam board (the kind with paper on each side), scrap wood, and paper. To make the blankets I soaked card stock paper in water, then draped it over the foam board. It dries to that shape. The pillows are also little pieces of foam board. I decided these beds are too nice to appear in a dank dungeon. It looks like some monster carefully made his bed before starting a busy day of eating adventurers. Next I will be making rougher, unkept beds.
