TSR Inc., mostly known for its Role Playing Game rules Dungeons and Dragons, has published a set of 25mm buildings, in the Medieval style, most suitable for miniature wargaming. Entitled, Cities of Mystery, this boxed set contains in excess of thirty full color building models, six 20"x 10" color village ground plans with one inch grid squares, and a 63 page booklet containing many D&D playing aids and scenarios. Each building model is die cut for easy removal from fanfold card stock. Assembly is very easy as pieces can be taped or glued together. The two models the reviewer built took about twenty minutes to assemble. Included in the set are buildings that reflect the many different building materials and styles of the times. Some stone, some Tudor stucco, some roofs shingled and others thatched. Some buildings even have flat tops so that others may be stacked to Droduce multi-story structures. The price of Cities of Mysteries $15.00 and is an excellent buy at less than 50 cents per building. For those gamers who need a large number of structures for their table, this set is a perfect solution even if you don't like card stock buildings.
