The Beastlord is a fantasy game for 2 to 4 players who take the part of one of the warring factions in the valley of Cym Bel Eanon: elves, goblins, humans and beasts.

In the inaugural issue of Ares Magazine, Steve List was unimpressed by The Beastlord, especially as a two- or three-player game, giving it a rating of only 4 out of 9.

The Beastlord is most definitely a campaign game with all the attendant problems and greater degree of sophistication that the larger time scope allows."
