    This is a digital port of a exceptionally complicated game that came out in the late 1970s. A contemporary to the origional D&D (Gary Gygax Himself gave it a favorable review at the time) I have never played this physical game. For that I must thank the devs for allowing me to play this hard to find and hard to learn game. As it is from an era of complicated rulebooks that makes Twilight Imperium look like chutes…

    Terrible game... every attempt into Africa has met with disaster... if you are lucky you get back to a port and back to England.... but go in knowing the game is so horribly designed that you have a 100 percent chance of disaster... I have gone in more than 20 times and all met with disaster... the game is a little interesting but is still very depressing... I played the board game years ago and it was never that…
