While Christmas shopping a few weeks ago, I saw a cool-looking fantasy boardgame in either Target or Toys-R-Us that reminded me of [“Hero Quest”](http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=44111&item=5944518132&rd=1) of my youth. It had an elaborate game board and a lot of miniatures. I was thinking it might make a good Christmas gift for my nephew, but I can’t remember the name, and haven’t seen it since. Does anyone know what it is or what it’s called? ---

That’s it! On [Amazon.com](http://Amazon.com), you can even play an example game of it using flash. It’s actually really rad… Now I’m going to order one for me and one to give as a gift. 🙂
