The book was still as I remembered it- a great adventure through the maze-like magical hut of the mythical witch Baba Yaga that is filled with traps, puzzles and deadly monsters. You play a fighter seeking to recover a magical gem that was stolen from your family after Baba Yaga killed and ate them all.
Wielding a powerful anti-magic sword and accompanied by your friend a Dwarven fighter thief you must navigate the confines of the witch's magical hut to claim your prize. The book uses standard six-sided dice and the assignment of a point system to various skills that you compare to dice rolls to determine success or failure in a task-a pretty simple but efficient system.
There are several paths you can take to reach your goal and I found the descriptions of the various encounters to be immersive and satisfying.

The game part works well too. Agora fiquei com vontade de voltar a ler e fazer tudo diferente. Ainda ontem estava a ler sobre a origem da palavra ler, que ven do grego "legere", que tem a mesma etimologia que a palavra eleger, ou seja, escolher.

I managed to get through successfully on my first try, though, so unless I was very lucky the challenge factor is a bit low. More reviews by Demian. I'm a longtime fan of the Quest for Glory series of PC games, which fans will know also features the titular witch as a quasi-antagonist in several of its entries. Like in Quest for Glory , this book acknowledges that while old Baba has something you want, you haven't got a chance of just charging in and ridding the world of her.
Reminding me of one of my favorite gaming properties put me in a good mood to read this book, but does Moore's book stack up? One of the book's unique features is the Judgment score, which determines how welcoming Baba is if and when you finally make it to her.
It's an interesting idea, but the problem is you have as many points as you'll get at the beginning and lose them by making foolish choices. They should've been something you started earning once play began, plain and simple. Also, in general the choices that cost you points are pretty easy to spot. As for the adventure itself, it's nothing too special. It feels like your standard dungeon crawl with you wandering from random area to random area, fighting or escaping from a new monster in each, until the author decides you've seen enough and has you finally meet with Baba Yaga.
The writing was bland and the banter between my character and his dwarf buddy did little to involve me in their adventure. The gimmick of having a sword that can cancel out magic also wasn't as cool as Moore probably hoped.
The book's replay value suffers since, as noted below, all paths lead to one place. I can only speak for myself, but while I don't mind having a new adventure each time I replay a book, I prefer it when I can arrive at success a different way each time too.
