In Challenge of the Lion Lord, you roll to move around the board and collect pieces of artifacts that give you bonuses for fighting (which is more dice rolling). Eventually, you will have enough bonuses to take on the Lion Lord. From the back of the box: Somewhere beyond this world, lies the realm of the Lion Lord. The Talanay legend tells of a time long ago, when the Lion Lord ruled the land. Many courageous opponents challenged his power, but none succeeded. For their bravery the Lion Lord gave each challenger a territory to hold as his domain. Now you must challenge all those who have come before you. Powerful warriors and fierce creatures stand ready to test your courage, skill, and strength. Take this journey at your own risk. This is a game only for the bravest of warriors.
