(Note: this page has gotten a lot of hits lately from people looking up "Lizards" in internet search engines. This page is a description of a play by mail game. If you are a random researcher who has any interest in games, please hit this link to read about what play by mail is. )
Lizards! is a new game imported from New Zealand. This is a tactical/strategic game of fantasy combat where you are the leader of a clan of lizards who expand across the Lizard Isles, crushing all opposition along the way until you are the sole leader of the Lizard World.
Your green lizards cultivate the soil and increase your production. Your grey lizards are your combat engineers and can build bridges and new dens. Your yellow lizards are your artillery (they can throw rocks). Your black lizards are your wizards and can cast magic spells.
The game is run on a laser printer and has graphic output, and since we have pretty much dropped Starlord from our line, Lizards will (for the time being) be the only graphic game we offer. This means that we can't send your Lizards turn to you by email. (Well, actually we can, but you get it as a postscript file. For a description of how you could read a postscript file, click here)
