Reception
editFrederick Paul Kiesche III reviewed The Armies of Tékumel in Space Gamer No. 71.[7] Kiesche commented that "This can be a useful item if you're willing to dig out the information for RPG scenarios. Otherwise, you can probably skip it and your campaign will be just as exciting. Definitely a 'look before buying' item."[7]
