"Conan the Barbarian" is an adventure wargame for 2 to 4 players with each of the players representing one of the major factions of Hyboria. Each faction has agents at their disposal with which they attempt to thwart their enemies plans while enlisting the aid of Conan. There are five types of agents: Wizards, Warriors, Courtesans, Assassins, and Thieves. Each type of agent has different capabilities and different strategies for enlisting the aid of our hero. SPI's planned "Conan the Barbarian" adventure wargame featured a full-color map of Hyboria and counters for every major character. A pre-publication play test kit was released. There was comprehensive background material written by L. Sprague de Camp.
