I have included this as a book solely on the basis that it has an ISBN but have linked to it from the Miscellaneous menu too because, to my mind, that is where it belongs.
The game comprises 112 cards, 76 plastic pieces plus 30 World tiles. The tiles are 3.5" x 4"*, printed on thick card and carry a Boris painting cropped to fit a 3.25" x 3.5" panel. The other cards are all identically sized but are smaller, and of narrower aspect ratio, than the World cards. They come in four kinds and, of these, the Character cards are of interest because they bear a monochrome image from one of the World cards (cropped further to fit the different card format.)
The playing of the game is outside the scope of this website but it appears, from what I've read, that it is an absorbing and enjoyable game.
Unlike my predecessor (Hercules) I do not own a copy of the game so have had to resort to showing the artwork that was used rather than scans taken from the actual cards.
* Being an American product I have only used the original Imperial dimensions!
