HeroQuest

HeroQuest, sometimes also written as Hero Quest, is an adventure board game created by Milton Bradley in conjunction with the British company Games Workshop the game was based loosely around archetypes of fantasy role-playing games: the game itself was actually a game system, allowing the gamemaster (called "Morcar" in the original British version and most localizations, but "Zargon" in the USA and Canada) to create dungeons of their own design using the provided game board, tiles, furnishings and monsters.

Several expansions were released, each adding new tiles, artifacts and new monsters to the core system.
