Reception
[edit]Ed Curtis reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "When the desire comes upon you for a change from arcade games, or from fighting against some historic army or mythological beast, CFIF should definitely be considered. Played solitaire or as a party game (where its abilities shine best), this game, with the vast number of options combinations available, will continue to be enjoyable for years to come."[1]
