The Lords of Underearth is a 1981 board game published by Metagaming Concepts as part of its MicroGame line.
The Lords of Underearth is a game of warfare in a subterranean labyrinth between orcs, dwarves, humans, and monsters.[1]
William A. Barton reviewed The Lords of Underearth in The Space Gamer No. 38.[1] Barton commented that “The Lords of Underearth […] qualifies as a game to be recommended to novice fantasy gamers and aficionados of The Fantasy Trip role-playing system. Fantasy veterans might find it an interesting diversion from their more complex endeavors as well.”[1]
Eric Goldberg reviewed The Lords of Underearth in Ares Magazine #10 and commented that “Lords demonstrates that small fantasy boardgames can be the result of quality work. The emphasis is on the simple and the playable, but never on the simplistic.”[2]
In a retrospective review of The Lords of Underearth in Black Gate, John O’Neill said “This is a fully featured game that offers a range of solitaire and 2-player scenarios deep in the heart of an ancient Dwarven fortress… all in 14 pages of rules and a box that can fit in your pocket. It’s well worth a look.”[3]
