| There is a strong rumor about Heroscape and a lot of evidence that leans toward it being true that Heroscape is going from Hasbro to WotC control. Switching from Mega-chain distribution to LGS. Anyone else heard anything about this? | |

| This has been confirmed and WotC will be taking over Heroscape beginning April 1st (WotC known for April Fools jokes I expect something to really scare the Heroscape players.
Perhaps there could be a new board added to here. | |

| I can confirm this.
Furthermore, there are already plans in the works for some sort of 8 pack.

Could somebody explain Snatch to me? I understand the basics, but not how to enter/use it. - Posted by orcmonk220

| | It makes a difference which people will be working on it. They shifted it from the Board game & Toy guys (Hasbro) to the WotC game guys. | |

Eye dun no why youse guys think im not relly a person im jimgang from canada but im moving to cali as soon as i get a master card
-Jimgang
So, you stand at your grave, Has your soul yet been taken away?
So you can't read what's engraved, Is this Heaven or merely Decay?
Was there a light, enchantingly bright, A Question, just how did it end?
Just let me sift through your calm remains, And tear you away from your skin.

| The longest aspect is usually building the terrain. Which is actually really fun sometimes, and tedious others. Personal preference, I guess...
