Andrew Lloyd-Webber's Games Workshop Calamity! | Boardgame History

Description provided by Jordan Sorcery on YouTube:

Lord Andrew Lloyd-Webber, yeah the Cats! guy, created a boardgame with Games Workshop in 1983 - but it is absolutely not the game you might expect. No, this game is about the no-holds-barred-pure-adrenaline-dynamic-and-musical INSURANCE industry! Inspired by mention of Calamity! that I came across whilst researching Talisman I decided to give this lost game another look - is it an underrated marvel or a rightly forgotten disaster?
