Strangely enough, as I dug this game out to put onto the site, I found that it and its supplement are still unpunched and, consequently, still unplayed. So I can’t really say anything about how good it is to play. It does seem from the newgroups, though, that this and especially its older sibling, Heroquest, are very popular is certain circles. I have certainly had some offers for copies.

It is one of those games descended from the Dungeons & Dragons type fantasy roleplay, but with less complexity and where evrything is enacted with miniatures and dungeon floor plans. I haven't played a lot of roleplay in my life but the best has been totally within the imagination and has not needed these physical trappings which just seem to eat away time and make it hard to call a halt and continue later.
