Solo Heroquest Rules Remix
The following rules should be used for solo gaming or in the event that Zargon is running an impromptu
dungeon adventure. All the house rules are considered to be in effect for the random rules.
Position the board with the HEROQUEST words upside down and away from the players. The board
contains five room areas, one in each corner and one in the center. Each area is numbered from 1 to 5 in a
clockwise manner with the group of rooms in the upper left corner being numbered 1, and the center room
being numbered 5. Roll a d6 to determine the starting area, rerolling if a 6 turns up. The number rolled
determines which grouping to start in. Number the rooms in each grouping in the same clockwise manner
starting from the upper left room. This need not be done if the starting group was the center room. Roll a d6
to determine the starting room in the starting area.
Use the same method to determine which corner of the starting room in which to place the stairs. Place the
door for the starting room in the diagonally opposite corner, as far away from the stairs as possible.
Whenever a hero gains line of sight into an unexplored room the following things must be done in the order
below:
Whenever a hero gains line of sight into an unexplored corridor the following things must be done in order
below:

After the first hero has line of sight into an unexplored room, roll once on the door table. North is always
toward the HEROQUEST words on the board. Do not roll for a door if there are already two or more doors
for the room. Reroll if the table indicates a door leading back out to the area where the heroes entered from,
or if there is no other way out of the room. Place the door as far from the heroes as possible on the wall
called for. Note: there can be two doors on the same wall yet each leads to a different area.

next less powerful monster type should be used to complete the force. If there are more monsters than there are available
squares in the room the extra monsters are not placed.
