Zangband is a variant of Angband, which is a single player role playing
game. You choose a race and a class, then roll up statistics to describe
your various abilities. Then you're unleashed upon the dungeons of Angband,
ultimately dropping to dungeon level 100 and trying your damndest to kill
The Serpent of Chaos.
Along the way you encounter a myriad of creatures and uniques to hinder
your progress, and objects and artifacts to help you achieve your goals.
Angband is loosely based on the works of JRR Tolkein, and had the game
Rogue as an ancestor, hence the term 'roguelike' that is encountered in
this guide and many other documents relating to Angband and it's variants.
Zangband is adapted from Roger Zelazny's 'Amber' universe.
Angband is constantly under development, and has been since it came out
in its most basic form back in 1985.
ZAngband has an expanded magic system, talking uniques, lots of extra
weird monsters and vaults and all sorts of other stuff. I won't spoil it
for you!
ZAngband is based upon Angband 2.8.1. If you've never played Angband
before, try that first; ZAngband is harder than 'vanilla' Angband.
