With a cover like this, you really have to ask yourself who the target audience of #ScorpionSwamp was supposed to be. From the looks of this illustration, my guess is about eight-year-olds? A low difficulty level inside would confirm this theory. Is it fair, then, to judge it from an adult perspective these days? Don't worry, I'm trying my best to be fair.

Scorpion Swamp

The Good Old Days

My daughter and I gave #ScorpionSwamp a go. It is the first from the #FightingFantasy line not to be written by one of the founders. I appreciate the attempt to allow free movement. Also, three missions inside. We picked the "good wizard" mission, of course. Second attempt, we succeeded. That was... underwhelming. 30 minutes. Need to dig deeper.
