"For an age, the tower lay in ruins. Unbeknownst to the people of the realm, a great evil stirred in its bowels. The evil had not been vanquished. The darkness would soon fall again. The tower will rise.
I had the original back in the 80s, and really enjoyed it. In an attempt to recapture some of the items from my childhood, I found out about this updated version. I'm still learning how to play it properly, but the sheer quality of the items and components does impress. Everything from the box/art to the casting and craftsmanship of the tower and figures and other parts and pieces are simply amazing.
