Reception
[edit]Forrest Johnson reviewed The Kinunir in The Space Gamer No. 28.[2] Johnson commented that "Could be fun. A prize for referees - but only a very imaginative and painstaking referee will be able to make full use of it. A challenge for any group of players."[2]
Bob McWilliams reviewed The Kinunir for White Dwarf #19, giving it an overall rating of 9 out of 10, and stated that "I refrain from giving this the maximum rating only because GDW may well do even better in future -- recommended without hesitation."[3]
