As taken from the box set:
“Crypt of the Sorcerer is an adventure game played with miniature figures which simulate heroic fantasy combats between wizards, warriors, and monsters in a forgotten age. Here is a realistic game in which you lead a band of adventurers into the dungeons and caverns of an evil sorcerer, and you make the decisions which can mean life of death for your comrades.”

Box art:
The Wizard (shown above; on stairs) was taken from Heritage’s Fantasy line of miniatures, blister-pack “1301 – Good Wizards”. The Troll (far left) was taken from Heritage’s Der Kriegspielers Fantastiques line of miniatures, blister-pack “1016 – Wood Trolls of Mirk”. The Evil Sorcerer (right of stairs) was not used and was replaced with figure (1201C). The original sculpt is considered “unreleased.” Although these miniatures were depicted as part of the set, they were not used in the game's final version. When the photo was sent to the printers, the final sculpting of figures 1201B, 1201C, and 3100A was not complete.
