Number of players: 4 taking turns	My overall rating:	9/10

Moonstone is a gory fantasy game for 1 to 4 players.
Each turn, you can visit different places on the map to find the four keys of the valley of gods and other treasures guarded by fearsome monsters. The first knight to get into that valley will be offered an ultimate challenge (brain-smasher kind, not brain-teaser, don't worry). If he triumphs, he will join the elite club of the gods. . . .

To summarize, we have a brutal and immersive game that will delight bloodshed lovers! One criticism: the load times are a bit long.

. . .Oh yes, even a second criticism: if by chance you face two blue giants simultaneously (those who live in the south-eastern swamps) and if they happen to raise their sticks at the same time, you will see a charming little flashing red box which prompts you to reset your computer!
I despair of seeing a game of this caliber sin like that, because the developers have not taken the time to test it thoroughly.
