There was one once. I spotted it on ebay earlier today when I was hunting for the Fortress of Assassins book   :D

Edit: I didn't bid for it though, in case you were wondering

If 'exclude' is the opposite of 'include', then what's the opposite of 'increment'?

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)

Not at all bad for £1.50. It is not horribly rare, yet hey, who can argue with that price? I imagine most of us paid a bit more for it when it came out.

Lol, I got that game for Christmas one year. It's a good game, but I've changed the rules for getting thrown in the dungeon cell, that was too unfair.

My riddle book has been stuck with glue >:( :-\
I'm not very keen on the last moments of the game.
I still think they should try another... maybe something like 'Dark world' and such.
