There are six different types of creatures represented by the tokens: men, heroes, sorcerers, orcs, dragons and wizards. The hero, sorcerer, and man counters are directly controlled by the players, while the orcs, dragons, and wizards by the dice, except you can still use special powers granted by a petition card or by successful battle to influence those too. Any time a player receives two or more men to place on the board for any reason, she may substitute either the hero or sorcerer for two men or both for four. This gives a nice strategic overlay to the game, and makes the starting deployment and locations much more important.

Up to six players can play in the computer version, any of which can be human- or computer-controlled. Each player has three treasures hidden across the board, and everyone has to fight the orcs and the other players to be the first to recover them all. There tends to be a lot of everyone ganging up on whoever is doing the best, which may deter some. This Windows version is very well-coded, with a colorful board and an easy-to-use interface. If you like Avalon Hill board games or tabletop war/strategy games in general, check out this fun and free underdog. Recommended!
