Reception
Mike Hall reviewed the game in a November–December 1988 issue of Paper Mayhem. He praised the gamemasters and publisher's player support during issues during his gameplay but did not recommend the game for novices. He stated, "A player with moderate experience, entering the game on a caveat emptor basis, playing for its innovative features and willing to accept the games shortcomings, might find it an interesting experience."[4]
