nothing special about it. Main reason it was priced higher than most games even in the "cheap" days, was because it earned good on location. Good earnings means, ops didn't sell them unless you made it worth their while. We still have MM's on location around us. Not to long ago we had 8 of them within 30 mile radius at various spots. So ops charging more, and many still on location brought the available numbers lower. combine those 2 factors and you get higher price demand. Reason it does so well on location, is because the rules are written for a 5 year old. So anyone and their grandma can figure them out and know what to do. Which is great for location games. Tie it in, with a heavy nerdy Medieval theme, with a nice toy, and you have a good money maker.

that's what I said. There really isn't. Special means unique and original. It's not. There are around 20 other games with nearly the same layout. and 5 with nearly the exact same rules. The castle is a nice toy and that's about all it has going for it. POTC has nearly the same toy. Hit the ship until it opens up, shoot the ball in when it sinks.

show me a game that is laid out like swords of fury or a similar ruleset. What about Escape from lost world, mousin around, ect.? THere are plenty of games out there that don't copy a shitload of other games.
