Book Description

May 20, 1999
Lair of the Sphinx is a collection of 77 original riddles from the game designers at Cloud Kingdom Games. Here are a couple of sample riddles to try:

Riddle #1:

Always smiles or maybe frowns
Sinks in water, never drowns.
Catches prey on its barbed teeth
Hunts all day, but never eats.

Riddle #2:

A dozen Royals gathered round,
Entertained by two who clowned.
Each King there had servants ten,
Though none of them were also men.
The lowest servant sometimes might,
Defeat the King in a fair fight.
A weapon stout, a priceless jewel,
The beat of life, a farmer's tool.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not too shabby, October 7, 2000
This review is from: Lair of the Sphinx (Paperback)
This book is excellent. If you are a game-master for D&D or another game, this book can be an excellent way to add some interesting intellectual work.

Or if you're just a lover of riddles this is great. Some are very difficult, some greatly entertaiing. The coded answers, and vague hints make cheating off limits. Unless you really want to decode the answer, you have little to help you along the way.

Great fun!
