Reception

Mike Dean reviewed The Yeti Sanction for Imagine magazine, and stated that "the approach to the plot is linear, allowing little freedom of choice for the players, but at least this means none of material is wasted, - and players are unlikely to notice. All in all, YS is a well presented, enjoyable and eminently playable scenario. Its only failing is its somewhat high price!"[1]

William Wilson Goodson, Jr. reviewed The Yeti Sanction in Space Gamer No. 76.[2] Goodson commented that "The new systems given here for auto chases and crossing the dangerous mountain terrain are fairly simple and work well as part of the larger game."[2]
