This game is in a way an introduction to role playing but is played as a board game. In fact, there were 3 expansions released for it. Dragon's Den, Haunted Tower, Goblin's Lair. This game walks the line between RPG and board game but I think it really does fall on the board game side of the fence.The new D&D Basic revised edition that guides the RPG rookies through the first 5 levels of experience. It features pull-out cards detailing basic monsters and dragons, a dungeon map and cardboard stand-ups to play in a boardgame way and a simple dungeon adventure for inexperienced players and Dungeon Masters.64 page rulebook, Dragon Card learning pack DM Screen, 48 stand-ups, dice and maps.TRS 1070 - BoardGameGeek
