When you crack the nicely illustrated box open, you'll be...
I am a sucker for a fantasy-adventure game, with some of my favorites being Magic Realm, Talisman, Return of the Heroes, Runebound, and finally, Dungeons and Dragons Fantasy Adventure Boardgame. Recently I traded a good soul one of the games I'm not particularly fond of for Z-Man's latest adventure game, Prophecy. I, just 2 nights ago, played my third game of Prophecy, and I am here to tell you that it is hands-down one of the most fun adventure games I've ever played. It's ridiculously simple, but there are still "moment of truth" decisions to be made that affect you not only immediately, but down the road an hour. It's just brilliantly designed, and is almost precisely what I was looking for; a game that bridges the gap between Talisman and Runebound. Put simply, this is a must-have game for anyone who likes these types of games.
