Improbably, this is Krull, the board game (1983), from Parker Brothers. Now, I own a copies of the both The Keep and the Murder She Wrote board games, so I feel like I have a pretty good sense of the improbable when it comes to licensed board games of the 1980s. Let me tell you: I am still kind of amazed that this exists.

As you no doubt have already guessed, it is a totally crap game. I’m not going to bother with describing the rules.

But holy wow, is it gorgeous. That box and board art is top notch and really gets at the psychedelic undercurrents of the movie. And it comes with miniatures of Prince Colwyn (meh, so not pictured) and the Beast (awesome!). And custom dice with the glaive printed on them. And so many cards, again with pretty nice art.

I love that this exists. I have no comprehension as to why it exists, and I am sure someone got fired because it exists, but I love it.
