Bestia

Bestia (The Beast) appeared in one of the issues of Joker - short magazine for gamers published in late 80's in Poland. However the game was first published in Świat Młodych (Youths' World) - #84/1985. The intro and the rules were exactly the same, only graphics were different.

The mechanics of Bestia resemble popular Battleships in it's basic, being a paper and pencil guessing game played on sets of the same diagrams but that's where the similarities end.

In Bestia one of the player assumes the role of the Beast - the master of a group of mosters lurking in the depths of a dark dungeon.

The other player (or players) lead a small band of adventurers who seek to destroy the monsters and escape the dungeons with their treasures.

Before the actual game all players secretly deploy they units (the mosters and treasure hoards/adventurers). Players in turns try to find and destroy monsters/adventurers, throwing spells and using weapons.
