¿Question #437?
Flyspeck23: Do you like dungeon crawl boardgames (HeroQuest etc.)? Why (not)?

BOBBYCAN: Maybe. They seem popular.
oldhoss: Not as much as I used to. Although Claustrophobia is still at the top of my list.
Woelf: Yes. They're usually very fun and themey.
Auramine O: I think I would love them but haven't gotten in deep with one.
bcooperok: No. They feel too much like virginity enforcing D&D.
ricardofo: yes. It is challenging
baronkohinar: I like them better the less rules / the less balanced they are. For some reason I find balanced dungeon crawl games very boring.
cgund: Have never played any.
AdrianPHague: Yeah, Dungeon Twister is fun!
gmcash: yes, i like the unexplored
Isolde_deely: yes
tawnos76: Yes, coes from playing D&D before getting into boardgames
POvidiusNaso: Not really. They tend to be collectable.
Numskull: If they're well done, sure. HeroQuest is not well done. 2d6 for movement kills it.
TheArchAngel: yes
DHEK: Yeah, they're fun, if they are properly done.
Azzarc: Yup
slagbeast: sometimes
aleo09: never played one
Ebon Wendigo: Yes, they strike a chord in the depths of my imagination.
Reish Galuta: Yes. Because.
ThatFalafelGirl: haven't really played any. alas.
_Kael_: Think I do, but haven't played enough to give a solid answer.
mpw182: i would thing so, never played one
pkreynolds: Yes. The theme appeals to me, there's a clear goal, lots of action, and usually loads of cool loot to collect. Also, many such games have co-op play mechanics, which I like.
Leo-T: yes
scriptorum: They're ok, especially if you get folks who roleplay a little and get into it.
heavymetalhamster: Yes, because I'm just a big kid at heart and also I enjoy them
bigbadsteve: i havent played many, but i liked the ones i played
starscream: yes, if in the right mood
dralius: I do enjoy playing them and I think it is a matter of nostalgia. I played them allot back in junior high.
dlesage: Nah, too repetitive.
Cromaa: Love them
vampywife: i like HeroQuest, it was one of the first non-family board games i ever played, so it was interesting to me.
Dorque: Yup. More tactical the better. Instant gratification of treasure cards, and love the theme.
wretchedw: I love dungeon crawls above practically all else, because they provide more satisfying monster-killing, loot-gathering, and levelling than a "real" RPG in a shorter time.
LeeMiester: Yes . Fun to play with the kids but not with my gaming buddies . Even though the gaming buddies grew up on D&D like me ..and thats the reason I like them is the close similarity to D&D (just not as expansive).
CunningGabe: HeroQuest rules!
AngusBull: yep, It's got to beee all those fantasy and sci fi book I read
aceraxon: Sometimes, it really depends on the system of the game. A quick hack and slash isn't all that fun, you want to feel like you're accomplishing something.
Chris Page: Sometimes, if there's not too much downtime. I'm a former D&D addict.
Evil HummingBird: lots of surprizes i guess
BeatPosse: Yes. Loot.
dwarf: No, because they are not my genre.
Platinum Dragon: Yeah, they're cool! I like the teamwork aspect.
arkibet: depends on the crowd

tipigi: yes I do like them.
locusshifter: Yes. Because.
DaGen: Yeah, coz ist COOL
Twkw: I LOVE them
Gecko23: No. I'm an adult.
noon: No. When I want to play nethack, (or its latest derivative) I use a computer.
ZombyDawg: Yes. No need to spend hours perfecting all the esoteric qualities of my character. Just wander around, kill monsters, take stuff
skrutsch: Sometimes.
ssmooth: Haven't found one yet that I much liked. Too predictible... not enough opportunity for cleverness.
Windopaene: Somewhat. Don't like the fact that one player has to be the DM
Belash: no, never played
Karlsen: On occasions. Great to player with my roleplaying mates
bluebehir: Yes. I can't say. They just appeal.
meshuggener: No. If I wanted that, I'd be 15 again playing AD & D.
Lord_Prussian: Sometimes
abimilech: No because they suck!
chad56s: Not usually. Not enough interaction, or clever mechanisms. Roll and move, usually. Dungeon Twister sounds nice, though.
tragicpoet: Haven't tried one yet
heli: not too much -- they don't seem to feature very innovative concepts
jimchris: No. RPGs work far better for this.
Quest22: Yes
gnomehome: Sometimes. My RPG background would have something to do with this.
2amp: yes, why not?
TakeMeToYourLizard: Yes! Great fun with friends (collaborative atmosphere)
sdownin: Yeah!
AlorielLelyn: No, not really. Dungeon crawls get on my nerves.
redhuntingcap: they're alright, but sometimes i feel like i could just play dnd instead.
isolated: Sometimes.
Dave: Sure, cuz there's usually a hot picture of a rogue on the cover.
skelebone: Haven't played many "crawl" boardgames, dungeon or not.

loonling: nope. just not my bag. get bored.
louiseh: No; played to death with small child.
Gonzaga: Yep ...
Shakar: Yess, Warhammer is THE BEST.
Komodo: Yep. Better than RPGs. (They have an ending.)
netfilterz: Yes. It's a good substitute for RPGs when there's no time or the wrong crowd
snoozefest: don't know - haven't played many
Denise: Yes, it's a weakness
jens_hoppe: In general, no I don't. These games generally emphasize theme over gameplay, which is not to my liking.

jttm: Yes. Heroquest in particular had great bits and was a lot of fun.
sumo: Yes, but they take an age.
LudesFactor: never played any
Critical Mass: yes Talisman when I was a kid
Eric Haas: Sometimes
shotokanguy: they're ok
WonderCinz: No. In that mood, I'd rather roleplay.

Aldie: Love em.
TamiWhitsett: yep
Flyspeck23: Yes, because there's no prep time.
The Maverick: Average game, slightly boring, take it or leave it.
Sky Knight X: Yes. 'cause they rock!
Friendless: Yes, except they take a long time
berserkley: yes
ValJor: No. I played one or two of those and found them boring as hell
dietevil: I like some, if they are fun.
Jim_P: No. Too repetative
ynnen: Heck yeah. The fun, cooperation and advancement of an RPG with lighter rules and timeframe
PopeBrain: Yes. The fun of roleplaying games without the unfun of roleplaying games.
viogression: Yes/No. They're a quick replacement for RPGs/they're TOO quick.
shumyum: Usually, if there is sufficient player interaction.
jdroscha: I like the idea of them, but don't like any of them in particular.
echoota: Yes, too little time for real RPGs
CDRodeffer: No, I think they limit the role-playing experience.
