Banemaster: The Adventure is an out-of-print collectible card game by Tiger Ltd. and Chessex. The goal was to tell a story with your cards.[1]
Publication[edit]
It was released in August 1995.[1] The original set had at least 305 cards, though the exact number is not officially known.[1][2]
Reception[edit]
Steve Faragher reviewed Banemaster for Arcane magazine, rating it a 3 out of 10 overall.[3] Faragher comments that "it's an introduction to RPGs written by somebody who's never played one, that could only be found interesting by someone not yet into puberty."[3]
According to John Jackson Miller of Scrye, the game is considered a failure, therefore the only remaining game element is determining the exact card list for the set.[1] The company announced the set had 234 cards, but to date 305 have been documented.[1] The goal was to tell a story with your cards.[1]
Designed by Alexander Duncan, the game attempted to bring more role-playing game elements to the gameplay, but suffered from poor art choices, some of which were too gruesome for kids.[1][4] Allen Varney of The Duelist reviewed the game as for "people with wood-burning stoves" suggesting the game was terrible.[5]
