knightmare board game

I can see how it would work, maybe in a sort of Talisman-type arrangement.

I've got the board game at home. It's a pretty simple game, where the players wander around rooms from the first 3 series fighting enemies and picking up objects. The object is to make it to the inner level, pick up a Quest Object, then finally build a bridge to Merlin's Throne by answering riddles from the game's riddle book (which has just about every riddle ever heard in Knightmare series 1-4). It's nothing like as complex as Talisman, or even Heroquest for that matter.

I've got the board game. I got it one Christmas - I remember really wanting the game and I can only presume that it was advertised at the end of the show like the Club was and the books or else I probably wouldn't have been aware of its existence. I also have all the books except for two of them - the second one "Labyrinths of fear" and the final one with Lord Fear on the front. They're still really good fun to read - the games were fun to play but became easier with every book.

It was thoughtful of you to bring this to our attention. Thank you.
Is there anyone reading this who has experience of or opinions on the board game? -
The rules aren't very clear, when I played it with two friends we wound up pissing about in Level 1 for over an hour, and kept getting sent to prison whenever we got to Level 2. The best thing about it has to be Merlin's Book of Riddles, since it's got nearly all the riddles from Series 1-3. (I think it goes up to 4, but I'm not sure)

Mephisto: You'll be pleased to know that you can download scans of the riddle book at http://www.knightmare.com/reviews/boardgame/
How convenient, eh?

I was pretty lucky with the board game, I got it in a sale in a local RPG shop for £1 because they were moving to a new location and selling off the second hand boardgames. And it was totally complete, without so much as a Helm Token missing.
Got a complete Heroquest from the same place as well, but it cost £20. Still, nice to see somewhere that checks the boardgames before selling them.

Got it for christmas '94, fantastic game that made up for those years without knightmare.
Never used to get any riddles right unfortunately, or at least I would be asked the easiest ones for fairness (I was only 10!)
Haven't played it for a while actually, largely due to the fact quite a few things are missing, including the riddle book which I haven't found since we moved.
I used to get annoyed with being thrown into the prison chamber with those rats (either because I lost a battle or picked up an unlucky card)
