Reception
William A.

Fantasy veterans might find it an interesting diversion from their more complex endeavors as well."[1]
Eric Goldberg reviewed The Lords of Underearth in Ares Magazine #10 and commented that "Lords demonstrates that small fantasy boardgames can be the result of quality work. The emphasis is on the simple and the playable, but never on the simplistic."[2]
