In a land of magic and sorcery a baby is born who, legend foretells, will destroy the evil ruler Queen Bavmorda but she is determined to destroy the child first. A midwife escapes with the baby and all Bavmorda's minions with Kael and her daughter Sorsha, go forth to find and recapture the child. Willow Ufgood a gentle Nelwyn farmer, becomes the baby's reluctant guardian. With brave companions (the renegade swordsman, Madmartigan; the rebel leader, Airk Thaughbaer; the brownies, Franjean and Rool), he embarks on a quest to keep Elora Danan from Bavmorda's evil clutches.
One player plays Willow , Madmartigan, Franjean and Rool. The other players play Airk Thaughbaer or Sorsha or General Kael. As Sorsha or Kael, you must find the baby and return her to Nockmaar Castle . As one of the others, you must carry the baby to safety or defeat Bavmorda.
Beware, you may be transformed into a possum, a pig or even the fearsome Eborsisk!
