Boardgames have always been one of the things a family does together and has been seen as a good way to spend hours in a peaceful and fun activity. As modern time and gaming have expanded, as computers and science fiction have taken over all that was traditional, boardgames have been affected as well and have never been this intricate. A favorite “geek game” is Heroscape, a unique game that features expandable boards, multiple characters and personalities and a variety of ways to expand features in all directions.

Boardgames entered the fantasy world with Heroscape and made this a familiar activity for young boys, who love playing with all sorts of characters, that have multiple superpowers and conquer the land with them. Heroscape combines action based boardgames with fantasy element, as the game is based on elevating surfaces and multiple character apparitions that require great imagination from the players. Mixing these two, Heroscape is a sort of computer-like game, but that is actually played on a board and is less violent than computer games, as the characters only act as the players handle them.

Heroscape has become so popular since it was released and it ended up producing more and more features and has developed into all fields of game playing. Even tournaments are organized all over the world, the most popular ones being the ones held at Comic Con and other smaller conventions from the same field. In addition to this, Heroscape is very present in the entertainment business – it is played in films, sitcoms and cartoons. The game always appears to be played by a group of boys that have a lot of fun with it and are really captivated by the game and its features.

Heroscape is increasingly popular and, in recent years, has not only become a very desired game, but also an industry. Its continuous expansion lead to the formation of numerous fan communities and as the game developed and extended, the first versions of it have now become collection items, that are very important to all players.
