Victorian Adventure

[1] Victorian Adventure was designed by Stephen Smith, and published by SKS Distribution in 1983 as a 50-page book.

[1] The second edition was published in 1985 as a boxed set containing a greatly expanded rulebook, a map, and cardstock miniatures.

However, Barton, an American, admitted that the game "was designed primarily for British gamers, who would have a greater knowledge of such background info than we 'colonials.'"

Barton concluded with a recommendation for his American readers, saying, "If the Victorian era holds any interest for you in terms of roleplaying, and you don't mind having to convert your dollars to British pounds and sending to England to obtain a copy, I think you'll find much of interest in Victorian Adventure.

"[3] In the June 1984 edition of Imagine (Issue 15), Chris Hunter was not impressed by the game, saying, "the poor artwork and the occasional low standard of English do not help a set of rules which in their present state I would not recommend.
