About the game
So you'd like to take over from the Guardian? OK, we'll start by giving you a few monsters and a bit of a dungeon to work on. You can recruit others and move them to the right rooms to satisfy the demands of the illustrious Hyacinthe de Cavallère. His most valuable lieutenants, Marvin, Herbert, Horous and Alcibiade, will come to your aid if you agree to throw a few monsters into the oubliettes. And if you don't want to find yourself invaded by unwelcome adventurers, remember to get rid of them from time to time! Ready for the challenge? —description from the publisher
