    Welcome to the Forum!

    I too have the Knightmare board game.

    I've managed to keep it in mint condidtion for 16 years. Quite amazing really considering how much I played it with my Knightmare friends.

    Its a great game!

    I always loved the colours of the sky around Knightmare Castle, very well done I thought...

      I was looking at the bit about the board game on Knightmare.com, it looks pretty interesting, especially the artwork.

        The board game is very neat, although the rather weird movement rules mean that you can spend hours going round and round in circles on level one.

        With some help, I invented a set of 'advanced' rules for the game a few years ago. It introduces the life force clock and extra uses for the clue items on the board, among other things. http://havetstorm.tripod.com/knightmare/id34.html

          What was this game actually like to play? Is it quite complicated?

            I wouldn't say complicated, no. It can just be a bit infuriating when you seem to arrive back in the same chamber every other turn.

              Check out The Eye Shield issue 44 to find everything you could possibly want to know about the board game (section entitled Board of Knightmare?)

                Thanks, very good. I think I saw that article when it came out but being on the boardgamegeek website made me think about the game.

                  Not the Knightmare board game, but does anyone remember from the late 80s - Ghost Castle?

                  It always reminded me of Knightmare when I was young and I used to play it with my sister every Friday after KM.

                  It consisted I think of four rooms with a central staircase which you had to climb at the end. There was a glow-in-the-dark skull which you dropped down the chimney and could land in any of the rooms and knock your opponents over. And there were ghosts masks which you had to put on your figure which froze him and made you miss your turn. There was also a knight with an axe or a sword who you had to avoid being hit with.

                    is this a good board game. it says it is all complete but you knightmare fans must tell. if it really is complete then it is a "bargain"!

                    sorry for bad english!

                        It looks complete as far as I can tell from the picture, and £4.99 is a good price for it.

                          Especially since some sellers seem to want upwards of £15 for it. If I didn't have something very important to save for I'd buy that.

                            Brilliant game, artwork and design and that. There was a Ghostbusters version too. Can you imagine a 3-D Knightmare board game?

                              I saw this in a 'Mind' charity shop for £1.50 yesterday. I thought it looked a bit boring but the cover is truly awesome.

                                Well I bought it. I got it as research for an art project. Everything is there apart from one of the plastic stands (ironically my main reason for getting it was the stands).

                                  I keep hearing things about the KM board game. Are there any pics/playthroughs doing the rounds?

                                    Illusion has it; he put some room pictures up back in the day, but these were replaced by real pictures from series 1. Maybe we should get someone who owns the game to give us some more glimpses.
