Tunnels & Trolls is usually considered the second role-playing game ever published, after the original Dungeons & Dragons. A sword-and-sorcery dungeoncrawling game with a distinct sense of humor, it was devised to be a simpler way to go monster hunting.
Cheaper, easier, and with a more consistent set of rules, Tunnels & Trolls was quite successful and for a brief period even rivaled Dungeons & Dragons in popularity. It was very influential on later designs. Five minor editions were published between 1975 and 1979, and then 25 years lapsed before the next edition.

| 7 / 10 | selenite | A good rule-light game. Had a lot of fun running this for my friends. |
| 8 / 10 | BigJackBrass | Far more elegant and flexible than it might appear, T&T has always suffered by being the second fantasy RPG. Ease of play, a sense of humour and a range of often excellent solo adventures still draw the fans, although the 7th edition is a bit of a mess when compared with the 5th. |
