Henderson found the rules "not particularly well-organized, and there are occasional references to things which are either poorly explained or not covered at all. Henderson noted that "Compared to many other roleplaying combat systems, <i>Conan</i> can best be described as crude. This is not to say ill-conceived, but rather that it does not bog gamemasters and players down with infinite, time-consuming detail." XXX did not like the introductory scenario, pointing out that anyone familiar with Howard's stories would know the entire plot. Henderson also felt the adventure "railroaded" the players along only one possible storyline. Henderson concluded by giving the game a rating of 3 out of 4, saying, "If you can enjoy the freedom of using an easily-learned rules set that leaves plenty of options, <i>Conan</i> is great. It makes a pleasant break from more detailed fantasy campaigning and it is certain to have its players rereading the Conan stories in search of inspiration."<sup id="cite_ref-dw_2-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-dw-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In his 1990 book <i><a href="/wiki/The_Complete_Guide_to_Role-Playing_Games" title="The Complete Guide to Role-Playing Games">The Complete Guide to Role-Playing Games</a></i>, game critic <a href="/wiki/Rick_Swan" title="Rick Swan">Rick Swan</a> thought this game was perfect for beginners, writing, "Though clearly not as sophisticated as say, <i><a href="/wiki/Advanced_Dungeons_%26_Dragons" class="mw-redirect" title="Advanced Dungeons & Dragons">Advanced Dungeons & Dragons</a></i>, the game's streamlined rules and clearly defined characters make it an excellent introduction to fantasy role-playing." Swan did note "That <i>Conan</i> remains true to its source material is both a strong point and a weakness. Fans of the Howard stories will feel right at home, but others may feel frustrated by the narrow focus; magic, for instance, is downplayed here, as it is in the stories." Swan concluded by giving the game a rating of 3 out of 4, saying, "As for solving the game's biggest problem — namely, which player gets to play Conan — the referee is on his own."<sup
