The board was a relief map of a mountain range set into a pedestal. The mountains held miniature models of organic houses. The houses were linked by a path which was divided into coloured squares. Each house had a playing piece with its own colour.
At the start of a game, each player would pick three of the pieces. Players took turns rolling an eight-sided die and their pieces would move across the paths according to the number rolled. When the die showed 45, the board would crack and split open, causing the players to exclaim, "Sepulchasm!" At this point the players would have to will their pieces to hover in the air over the board. The player who lost concentration and let his or her pieces fall into the chasm first would lose. (PROSE: Lungbarrow)
