Das Menhir - Rollenspiel ermöglicht es einem Spielleiter und mehreren Mitspielern, Abenteuer in phantastischen, magischen Welten oder auch einfach nur in historischen Epochen zu erleben.

Alles in allem kann man das Menhir - Rollenspiel wohl den Spielern empfehlen, die ihre Spielfiguren vor einem komplexen sozialen Hintergrund glaubwürdig agieren lassen wollen, die phantastische Abenteuer nachspielen wollen, ohne sich allzu sehr von den Gegebenheiten und Beschränkungen der realen Menschheitsgeschichte und Umwelt zu entfernen.
