The rules are structured to teach the game in stages. Each main section is introduced by Mentor , your teacher. The easiest way to learn how to play is for all players to read through the rule book together, following the instructions as they are read out. One player must act as Morcar the evil wizard and control his force of monsters. The other players are called player characters and control the 4 would be heroes; the Elf, Dwarf, Wizard and Barbarian.
