Jay Linnell's Summary:

A classic, compiled, refined and updated for today's gamers. An excellent resource on the land of Tsolyanu, approachably written for old fans, new roleplayers, and players new to the setting.

It's an excellent game, but I think you missed the most crucial point about it. It is the only published version of Tekumel that includes rules that are both playable and not vastly archaic. The rules sets from the 80s & 90s are arcane and ludicrously complex horrors filled with endless tables, and while the original D&D variant system works, it's archaic the the extreme. This is the first version of Tekumel that I would consider playing because the rules actually work.
