Reception

David Ritchie reviewed John Carter in Ares Magazine #1, rating it a 8 out of 9.[1] Ritchie commented that "Like Burroughs' original heroes, their cardboard counterparts must win only by fair means. To win by engaging in foul acts - which, among other things, loses the love and respect of your lady - means that, in game terms, you've lost the whole enchilada. For the first time in the history of the hobby, a game has been built around such themes as love, romance, treachery, remorse, hatred and friendship."[1]
