Harken oh heroes to the days of
yore
Relive the savage days of old when cunning warlords directed
mighty heroes, powerful sorcerors, and stalwart warriors against
slavering orcs, a ravenous dragon, and each other in their quest
for the kingship of the ancient island of Marnon! Meet the challenge
of Peacemaker the Wizard. and recover three hidden treasures
to claim the Throne.
WIZARD'S QUEST was one of Avalon Hill's more successful games
back in happier days for boardgames. Its presence on the shelves
of Toys R Us introduced many a new gamer to the hobby with a
simple, yet intriguing family pastime. Hobby grognards tended
to dismiss it for more challenging fare and its presence at our
convention was limited to Junior tournaments until 1997 when
those juniors grew up and challenged their parents to meet them
in adult battle!
Its inclusion in the Iron Man competition can only help the
field. New GM Paul Bolduc is scheduling for a field of 36 or
less, but will be delighted with anything between 12 and 216.
