In August, Hasbro announced that their Pulse programme would run a "HasLabs" crowdfunding campaign for HeroQuest. But HeroQuest has an iconic and troubled history, and feelings about this sort of thing tend to run high.

So for my listeners' benefit, I've dug through the history, the trademarks and the controversy to try to understand what's going on with HeroQuest, why it's happened how it has and what might, possibly, be coming next for the game. WARNING: total speculation ahead!

Anyway, enjoy.
