Playing board games from the 1980s, whether it's a straight remake like Heroquest, or a remaster like Return to Dark Tower, reminds me of a time when board games were less about challenge and conflict and more about fun.
Like, I really enjoy solving board game puzzles, FOR SURE.
But it's so nice when a game focuses on just being *fun* instead of being challenging or puzzly or intricate.
Back then, games appealed to kids. Nowadays, everyone wants super complicated things.
Heroquest is *STUPID.* It's move around, roll dice to win, and check for traps occasionally. It's extremely brainless. And yet it is SO MUCH FUN.
