Salvatore. The game features multiple scenarios and challenging quests.

Gameplay

The Legend of Drizzt is designed for 1-5 players, and features cooperative game play. This game's contents can be combined with other D&D Adventure System Cooperative Play board games, such as Castle Ravenloft and Wrath of Ashardalon. The game includes 40 plastic heroes and monsters, 13 sheets of interlocking cardstock dungeon tiles, 200 encounter and treasure cards, a rulebook, a scenario book, and a 20-sided die.

Reception

John O'Neill of Black Gate described the game as "a perfect way to introduce your non-gaming friends to the genre, or to get in a bit of dungeoneering on those nights when your dungeon master it too hung over to make it".

DieHard GameFan said that "all in all, I had fun with The Legend of Drizzt. It has its issues and it's the weakest of the Adventure System games so far, but it's still a fun way to while away an afternoon if you don't have a large enough group to engage in a proper tabletop session or no one has the inclination to be a Dungeon Master".
