The game I am reviewing is Moonstone. Moonstone is a great game that I believe is set in the time of knights, and King Arthur. The story is simple, the druids of the land need you to retrieve the legendary moonstone, and from there on, the real game begins.
Moonstone is a game that is suitable for all ages, although, with gore on, is suitable for teens. It can be played by 1-4 people, each one selecting a different knight. The knights have names, but are mostly referred to by color.

Moonstone is a game that is suitable for all ages, although, with gore on, is suitable for teens. It can be played by 1-4 people, each one selecting a different knight. The knights have names, but are mostly referred to by color. (Green, Blue, Yellow, and Red). There are also black knights, which are computer controlled knights who are surprisingly smart for a game from 1992. The game includes a practice mode, which is two player enabled, allowing
you to work on your swords play. The swords play feature is also surprisingly deep, allowing you to stab, stab backwards, slash horizontally, slash vertically, dodge, guard, and throw daggers. When fighting with gore enabled, the game is not for the faint of heart. Although there is not as much blood as some current games, your knight can take stomach wounds, shoulder wounds, and neck wounds. The only neck wound is decapitation, but this occurs often. The knights really have no noticeable difference, except the green one can take more hits, but does less damage. The blue knight does more damage, but requires fewest hits to fall. I have found no difference between the other knights. Each knight has five lives, losing one whenever he falls in battle. Each knight also has a home village, which will restore his lives up to, at most, three. These lives can also be restored in cities, by healers, who will restore more lives if you donate sums of gold to them. Cities have several other places to go, which include a tavern, a sage in one of the two towns, and a mage in the other. Both towns also have merchants, who sell more daggers, new and better swords, and better armour. The tavern allows you to play a dice rolling game, which I did not understand very well. Each knight can only carry ten throwing daggers, but these are deadly if used correctly in combat. Black knights use these a lot, but they too have a limited amount. All in all, Moonstone is a very fun game. I give it 9.5 out of 10.
