I was 12 years old and it was way too complex.

I loved the game board and the art and the instructions and the characters. It was like being taken to well…. another realm.

I used to open the box up and lay out the tiles and read the manuals and look at the art and drink it in and be transported.

I still have it in the garage. What a great game.

There’s a few games I think deserve a new set of simpler rules for the same board and game pieces. I’ve often wondered if there’s a community smog people interested in making up new rules for old games that were too hard.
