I’ve not played this one myself, but it’s on my lengthy to-do list. The John Carter fiction series by Edgar Rice Burroughs is vast and colorful, and is perfect for game treatment.
(Modiphus recently completed a Kickstarter for a John Carter RPG)
The John Carter adventure game has three different gameplay options: Duelling Game, Strategic Game, and the Military Game. Looks like fun. If you know the game well, please comment with your thoughts.
