Oh man I loved Magic Realm as a kid, I owned it, but I never played it.

I was 12 years old and it was way too complex.

I loved the game board and the art and the instructions and the characters. It was like being taken to well…. another realm.

I used to open the box up and lay out the tiles and read the manuals and look at the art and drink it in and be transported.

I still have it in the garage. What a great game.

There’s a few games I think deserve a new set of simpler rules for the same board and game pieces. I’ve often wondered if there’s a community smog people interested in making up new rules for old games that were too hard.

Me too! I had Magic Realm as a kid and tried reading the manual dozen of times but couldn't get it to stick. They simplified the rules over at boardgamegeek[1]

Actually, there's lots of files and tutorials there[2] -- I lost my copy to a hurricane years ago but I may have to pick up a copy and play online[3]
