Gameplay
The game was based loosely around archetypes of fantasy role-playing games: the game itself was actually a game system, allowing the gamemaster (called "Zargon" in the US, "Morcar" in the UK) to create dungeons of his or her own design using the provided game board, tiles, furnishings and monsters. Several expansions were released, each adding new tiles, artifacts and new monsters to the core system. Because of the ease of play of the game (a full dungeon can be explored and beaten in as little as an hour, compared to five or longer for a full-blown role-playing game) and its vivid detail work, it is fondly remembered in gamer circles (much like Talisman) and copies of it are jealously hoarded. Copies routinely go on eBay for double or more of the original $19.99 selling price.
