Gameplay

Swordquest is a game in which good, evil, and druidic forces search the towns of the land of Tirrane, hoping to find the lost sword of Lumina.[1]

Reception

Bruce Campbell reviewed Swordquest in The Space Gamer No. 28.[1] Campbell commented that "Swordquest has enough good points that I don't feel my money was wasted. However, better games are available for less money, so I don't recommend it for any category of gamer."[1]

David Ladyman reviewed the 1981 update of Swordquest in The Space Gamer No. 41.[2] Ladyman commented that "Swordquest, in many ways, is a nice game, at a reasonable price. It is not too complex for the new gamer, at which it is primarily aimed. I wish I could recommend it. If you don't mind composing rules as you play, you might check it out."[2]
