It's a really fun game. <br /><br />Kids seem to love it, probably because it's instantly accessible, with a good theme and some clever "traps." And as you say: everybody has the same chance of winning.Carbon Copyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13155710832017131015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6350611440505059146.post-34789215744814266232016-11-08T14:19:01.825-08:002016-11-08T14:19:01.825-08:00Just dug out a copy I picked up in a thrift shop a...Just dug out a copy I picked up in a thrift shop about ten years ago for 50p and played it with my twelve year old who absolutely loved it. I'd bought it for nostalgia at the time and didn't imagine it would appeal to an X-Box loving kid as much as it did tonight. No idea what happened to my original copy which my brother and I used to play endlessly when we were in the right age bracket (!) but I do recall it largely being held together with sellotape as it had had so much hammer. Really wonderful to play it again. The artwork is truly awesome and that novelty glow in the dark skull still works after you charge it under a lamp. I enjoyed the fact its based completely on chance too as things can change in an instant which gives it a kind of equity when there's a forty year old playing a twelve!

I wish I still had that game and that's why I bought it again on Ebay recently, this time in English!

Maybe MB knew what they were doing after all.<br /><br />You will notice in the photographs here that my copy is degrading quite badly. All the doorway arches are ripped, the battleaxe is glued together, and the hanging skeleton barely stays on.<br /><br />"Loved," I think they call it.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by and commenting.Carbon Copyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13155710832017131015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6350611440505059146.post-22436117837504183802014-11-03T01:25:52.063-08:002014-11-03T01:25:52.063-08:00Boy, did I love this game as a kid.

My younger brother got it for Christmas one year (he must have been about 6 or 7; I would have been 11 or 12), and we played it a lot, for years, until the moving pieces (like the skeleton) no longer slotted properly in the board. No idea what happened to our copy though; probably still in my parent's loft somewhere! <br /><br />Great overview though; it's true, the dull roll & move mechanic is -almost- forgiven with the great 3D board and beautiful artwork.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223924809684568884noreply@blogger.com
