Come, come! Fantastic adventures await, full of excitement and romance! Each cube holds a different fantasy. Would you like to be the noble hero who saves a fair maiden? Or perhaps the evil warlock with unlimited powers, who can control the dead? Pick any world! What’s that? Oh, well, there’s always risks when it comes to adventures. But only one or two of the boxes have a bad ending. Not including the one where you get eaten by tigers. Yeah… you don’t really “come back out” if you die in there. That’s the price of adventuring these days, I guess.
