About this game
Based on the books of Marion Zimmer Bradley this game melds your typical strategy game with what would normally be found in a party game. Players vie for control in a world steeped in psychic energy. Mixing strategic placement of counters with chanting and "I dare you.." party game mechanics makes for a truly unique game.
