Masters of the Universe (1984)

About this game

Swedish game. The game map is made up of two separate parts. One two-dimensional map portraying the wastelands outside Castle Greyskull. The second map is 3-D layout of the castle itself. The object of the game is to race to defeat Skeletor in the throne room of the Castle. In order to get there and perform the task, the heroes need to collect items in the wasteland that will help them on their task. Once inside the castle, they must avoid all the traps set by Skeletor before they can finally reach the throne room.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.1/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 6 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
