🤝 Inclusive design Inclusive design is separate from a game’s queer labels. It marks games whose design is deliberately inclusive even when not queer-themed: romance or marriage mechanics with no gender constraint, character creation without a forced gender binary, gender-neutral rules language, or table safety tools. Each marker shows where we found it.

  • Character creation free of a gender binary
    According to the game’s own description
    “The tiles are double-sided showing male and female variants and players can decide on which side they prefer (your gender doesn't impact gameplay)”

Description

HEROQUEST THE CARD GAME: Players try to make it out of the dungeon together in this card game based on the fantasy adventure board game

DEFEAT ZARGON: The goal is to defeat Zargon by depleting the dungeon deck to expose the dungeon exit before any one hero sustains 4 wounds, including permanent wounds and wound cards

CHOOSE A HERO: Each player chooses a hero to play as, and takes the corresponding hero champion tile. The tiles are double-sided showing male and female variants and players can decide on which side they prefer (your gender doesn't impact gameplay)

ACTION PHASE: After playing a card, the action phase begins. Choose one of 3 possible actions: Attack a threat on the dungeon floor, attempt to heal a wound, or search for treasure

DUNGEON CRAWL EXPERIENCE: Don't have a lot of time? The HeroQuest card game is quick to play, and makes a compact dungeon crawl experience.
