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. ADD TO YOUR COLLECTION OF MINIATURES: This tabletop board game expansion includes 21 finely detailed unpainted miniatures: Frozen Horror, Barbarian, Mercenaries, Ice Gremlins, Polar Warbears, and Yetis

The rules are straightforward to get up to speed on, but given the small book, don’t expect too much room for pictures to break up the walls of text. Expect to spend a good few minutes reading through all of the additions and new aspects before you play. Game Setup 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 first three quests can only be played by the Barbarian. If you are used to playing as a party, this can immediately be a turn-off, as everyone else watches instead of participating. As the Barbarian has to rely on healing potions that you can STILL only find via treasure cards, some bad dice rolls can badly impact the ability to progress or complete the solo quest. Someday, I’ll get around to writing a formal review of the game system, and I do plan on creating a miniature showcase, similar to the ones I created for Altar Quest, its Stretch Goals, and its Expansions. On a first playthrough, this expansion comes out swinging, making good use of new room tiles to help set the scene. New monsters are present early, almost like they are on parade to get the Barbarian character (the only hero that can play the first three quests) a taste of the types of monsters to come.
