Death and Destruction is a 1980 board game published by Uncontrollable Dungeon Master.
Death and Destruction is a game where two or more players on each side of the board have 32 pieces, each of them with a different name and abilities and represented by poker chips. [1]
Steve Jackson reviewed Death and Destruction in The Space Gamer No. 34. [1] Jackson commented that "If you like chess (and its complex variants), this game is worth attention, even at its rather high price. If you don't like chess and similar games, D and D will hold nothing for you. It's a fascinating effort, but its production and playtest flaws will probably keep it from going far. Pity." [1]
