Overview
What ABG knows about this game
In a Maul tavern, Conan hears the tale of an enormous jewel called “The Elephant’s Heart” and of Yara, the terrible sorcerer who possesses it, drawing power from it to fuel his strange magics. Near Maul stands the impossible tower that houses Yara, his jewel, and his soldiers. A tower that no one dares enter, with walls polished to infinity, so no one can climb them. Thus, there is no way to acquire the jewel. But for Conan, when desire is coupled with courage, there is ALWAYS a way. Conan the Cimmerian: The Tower of the Elephant is a towering tabletop combat adventure in which you fight to steal The Elephant’s Heart. There are two ways to play. In Solo Mode, a single player becomes Conan, battling the game itself. In Battle Mode, one player becomes Conan, and the other player becomes the twisted wizard Yara, casting spells, deploying soldiers and eldritch horrors to punish Conan for his temerity. Conan's adventure in Tower of the Elephant moves him from the town of Maul to a moonlit garden. From there, he will climb to the top of an impossible tower and face terrors he never imagined! Conan's adventure through the Tower of the Elephant involves overcoming the challenges of many unique locations, each represented by a Tenfold Dungeon Box. Each location is explored in a single turn which consists of a Dice, Location, Combat, and Mopping Up phase. There are 10 locations in Tower of the Elephant which Conan must overcome to emerge victorious! Players are not required to complete every location in a single sitting, and may stop playing between locations in order to resume play in another play session. Conan retains his level, skill, and items between each session so that he is always prepared for his next adventure! —description from the publisher
