Seven players can take part, five of them human, and Orange and Purple are reserved for the computer. There are no fixed teams. The author's description frames the story as necromancers preparing to plunge the world into eternal gloom, and the player must stop them at any cost. Victory requires defeating all enemies, while a player loses by losing every town and hero. The factions in play include Castle, Rampart, Tower, Inferno, Dungeon, Stronghold, Fortress, Conflux and Necropolis, and the map features rock, water, grass and snow terrain. Notable features include the Grail, 15 towns, 54 mines, 16 monoliths and portals, and a range of placed artifacts and wandering monsters.
