The rules assume that players have owned and have played the miniatures wargame Chainmail and that they have used its measurement and combat systems. This set features only a handful of the elements for which the game is known today: just three character classes (fighting-man, magic-user, and cleric) four races (human, dwarf, elf, hobbit) and only three alignments (lawful, neutral, and chaotic). The set also included brief guidelines on using monsters as player characters. Movement rates and areas are given in inches, like that of the miniatures rules from which the system descended. The set also includes rules for wilderness travel by land and sea, hiring specialists and men-at-arms, building fortifications and setting up baronies. This set introduced concepts which would become standard in later editions, including abilities (such as strength, intelligence, and dexterity) character classes ( fighting-man, magic-user, cleric) and levels races ( human, dwarf, elf, halfling) armor class monsters and treasure subterranean dungeons of halls, rooms, and doors replete with tricks and traps and magic items, such as intelligent swords.

The original Dungeons & Dragons boxed set was the first role-playing game, a fantasy system with a medieval European flavor. It included the original edition of the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game. The original Dungeons & Dragons (commonly abbreviated D&D) boxed set by Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson was published by TSR, Inc.
