Description

[Edit] [History]

Players take the role of one Fantasy-Hero traveling a hidden world which is set up differently for every new game. Players gather mighty artifacts to solve their quests. During games the characters develop which brings some role-playing flair to the game. (to help you feel comfortable with your character you can even choose the gender of your character by simply flipping the character-card before game start)

The game has been compared to Magic Realm and Talisman, with a complexity somewhere between the two.

The 16 game board pieces are huge and have an astounding artwork. The box is full of material which compensate for the high price.

The company stresses that the game contains more strategy than luck but would still be suitable for the whole family.
