I'm agonising over this- on the one hand, it's expensive, on the other , it's magnificent......... The details are on the Monolith Games site. Loads of expansions available, but from what I read, the scenarios in the main game are limited for 4/5 players, so they might be needed. The rules are available as a free download, and seem pretty sensible.
Thoughts, Potatoes?

I've seen the game, miniatures, boards etc, in person and it looks very impressive, although I haven't played it so couldn't testify to that.

What fun. Rescuing a princess from a Pict village. The accidental strategy of Conan being stuck in melee with the best Pict Fighters, while Shavratas, Belit and Hadrathus rescued Yselda and killed Zogar Sag won the scenario. The system was pretty easy to use, even for a first game- a shallow learning curve

Four games in- Princess rescue (twice), Pirates, and rescuing a princess from a ruined fort. Princesses need rescued a lot in Hyboria. So far only one Hero has been killed- take a bow Ken, you always like to break new ground. Usually in the cemetery....... Nevertheless, the heroes have won every time.

Would like a shot at this next time we are up, have all the Conan stories. Conan was my introduction to Sword and Sorcery when I was 14-15ish.

No problem. Close run thing last night. The heroes still won, but only because Conan was killed! We decided to use the inn board- the scenario stars with the heroes trapped in a room with no equipment. We kind of blew it by going around mob handed- we should have split up and distracted the guards more. In the end Conan got trapped by Thak and a guard captain. Shavratas bravely ran away......

I'm definitely going to get the Stygian expansion Don. You get the following...
1x Thoth Amon 10x Giant Scorpions Monsters 1x Scorpion Broodmother Monster 5x Assassins Minions 5x Eternal Guard Minions 1x Double Sided Game Board 4x Scenarios by Bruno Cathala Tokens Tiles Character Sheets
The undead one is a separate expansion.

They have the Hyperborean module in Static- £50, a bit dearer than Ebay. Very tempted- the crows are amazing.

And I've bought the Khitai expansion- another hero, 22 figures, and 2 double sided boards

We played the first of the Khitai scenarios last night- 3 heroes- Conan, Shevratas and Shentu (new). We had to break into a tower to plant evidence, steal documents and kill the sorceror. We never got to the baddy- but we managed a draw by completing the 2 minor tasks. Shevratas got killed, and Conan was down to 4 gems. I now also have the skeletons and mummies. More heroes on the way.
