For those not in the know, the Grievous Injury Table was probably the most iconic feature of the game. It was a table used to determine the effects of exceptional attacks on you and your opponents--a "critical hit" if you must. The unpleasant effects of the grievous assault on your being were delivered with text that often sounded as though it was swiped from a deck of Community Chest cards written for a truly morbid Monopoly game:
"Tsk Tsk. A wound of the solid viscera. Usually fatal."
"Your aorta is severed and you are quite dead. Rest assured your companions will do their best to console your widow(er)"
"A chest wound... your opponent's weapon is caught in your ribcage and has been wrenched from his grasp."
Anyway, if you never played, these were a few of the injuries you missed out on.
