The Best of Dragon Magazine Games

1990

Description

This is a set of six games previously published in Dragon Magazine, collected in one box, with better components, maps, and playing aids: Ringside (Issue #38) Food Fight (Issue #44) File 13 (Issue #72) The Baton Races of Yaz (Issue #82) King's Table, aka Hnefatafl (Issue #128) Search for the Emperor's Treasure (Issue #51). This version is significantly different from the original: it changes the encounter mix around, adds a deck of treasure clue cards, and expands the character selection with a dwarf and a "hairfoot." The nice Darlene Pekul map painting is traded in for a hexmap with generic terrain symbols that Wham suggests you mount to cardboard and cut apart, thus creating a new map each game a la Kings & Things. The cards force characters to move a lot more, and most encounters can no longer be given away, so this edition plays quite differently.
