[#]TotAN — Tales of the Arabian Nights

About 14 hours left on the campaign!

Going Solo. With all of the gamebooks like Fighting Fantasy in the 80s it’s not surprising that the original game had a solo mode. To win you had to reach your Story and Destiny goals, become Fabulously wealthy, and complete 2 quests before the event deck ran out.

Did you know there were plans to produce a computer game version in the 90s? New solo tales were written by the talented Jennell Jaquays and Kevin Maroney. These recently came to light, and they’re now the basis of the new solo mode for this edition. (I’m going to try to find out more about this computer game)

In the 40th Anniversary Edition you’ll start with a Solo Quest card that will start you on your journey. The story unfolds over a series of milestones across the map that relate to the new paragraphs in a dedicated book. I’m really looking forward to giving these a good play through when I’ve got a chance. Trying to typeset and avoid spoilers might be a bit hard. squints

Sadly Jennell passed away earlier this year. Her game designs brought so many people so much happiness.

Thank you, Jennell.
