the game required a large amount of luck, but also involved "absorbing diplomatic possibilities of played with a number of participants." Neil Shapiro reviewed White Bear and Red Moon in The Space Gamer No. 13. Shapiro commented that "White Bear and Red Moon is much better than just fantastic [...] It is a sub-creation as real as all mythology." Greg Costikyan reviewed White Bear & Red Moon in Ares Magazine #1, rating it an 8 out of 9. Costikyan commented that "White Bear & Red Moon is less a game than a description of an entire culture. In a short rulebook, it provides an insight into the religions, governments, and ideologies of whole peoples; descriptions of weird and imaginative alien races; the rationales for several competing kinds of magic; and the biographies of the greatest heroes of the age. Further, despite its occasional awkwardnesses, White Bear & Red Moon is an enjoyable and fast-playing game." Forrest Johnson reviewed the 1980 revised edition, Dragon Pass, in The Space Gamer No. 40. Johnson commented that "The rules for Dragon Pass are no cleaner than those for White Bear and Red Moon. After all this time, Chaosium should know better than to publish a game which has not been blindtested." Steve List reviewed Dragon Pass in Ares Magazine #14 and commented that "While in some ways it is less "magical" than its predecessor, it is a better product in general and can be appreciated by the average gamer and dedicated fantasy fan alike. Try it; you'll like it."
