Description Edit | History

Players form a party of Heroic Fantasy adventurers to journey into the Citadel of the evil mage "X the Unknown", gaining experience and power by fighting his monsters, and ultimately facing and defeating X himself.

The Citadel map is randomly generated during the game by drawing and placing rooms and corridors printed on 1/4" die-cut counters.

More Information Edit | History

This is a dungeoncrawl spin-off of the Swords & Sorcery fantasy wargame, using many of the same characters and locations.

Originally published in Ares Magazine #5.
Like most of the Ares games, it was later re-released in a thin flat-box format.

The game uses the same system originally developed for DeathMaze.
