I don't know if it's the BEST game I've ever played, but I can say it's still the most FUN game I've ever played! A treasured part of my collection.
It is easy to each, easy to play and gets hoops and hollars everytime I play it. Add the fact that it is arguably the prettiest boardgame ever made makes it a pure classic in my book. You will never ever see another game like it in breadth and scope.
Heroscape was made during, what I call, the plastic era; that sliver in time when the housing market was booming and people were spending like mad. Toy companies went really overboard in attempts to attract that money and Heroscape was born. The fact that the game sprouted over 15 expansions is just amazing when you consider that the base game was a money loss leader for the series.
