Description
Victorian Adventure is a historical mystery/adventure system set in 19th-century England, during the height of the British Empire. The character and skill rules are simple, with the background and social systems covering such things as social class and status, spiritualism, etc. The object is to get ahead and make more money. The game includes a Diary of Events for the entire Victorian era, plus wage and price lists, and three scenarios. The 2nd edition greatly expands the rules and adds two new scenarios.
Publication history
Victorian Adventure was designed by Stephen Smith, and published by SKS Distribution in 1983 as a 50-page book. The second edition was published in 1985 as a boxed set containing a rulebook, a map, and cardstock miniatures.
Reception
