Wizards
Like the original board game, your job is to explore the islands to fulfill various quests before Evil can corrupt the whole world. Unlike Avalon Hill's more complex and better known Magic Realm, Wizards is very easy to setup, teach, and play. As the PC game designer explains, the game's excellent "...variety of quests and random events make each game play like a fantasy novel." This PC version is very faithful to the original, and allows you to play against up to 5 other human players. Although the game lacks any computer opponents, you can play solo against the clock. Coded in Java, Wizards is pretty to look at, and even includes many optional rules by the original game designers and others. Highly recommended for fans of fantasy boardgames.
