Koboldbande

IMps race for the dragon hoard

The imps want to acquire the treasure that the dragon is guarding in his lair. To achieve this they must lay out a path across the forest, reach the treasure before the dragon does and, furthermore, acquire three keys on the way to open the treasure chest. The tiles are laid out face-down, four keys and one sweets tile are placed by rolling two dice for row and column on the board.

You draw one of the face-down tiles: A path tile is placed suitably - the path must be continued and you try to achieve the shortest possible way to the cave and to collect three of four keys and the sweets tile on the ways - the fourth key tile is just a another option for the path. A dragon tile is placed on the next empty spot in the dragon's lair. When the path reaches a sweet or key tile you take the tile and put it on the corresponding storage spot. Once in the game you can distract the dragon with the sweets tile and remove the front dragon tile and place it on the sweets tile. When the treasure spot is covered with a path tile and three of the four keys have been collected, then all players have won together. If you would have to place a dragon on the treasure spot then all players have lost together and the dragon has won.

Dragon, treasure, paths, all standard ingredients and once again they have been mixed into a very nice game, even offering some tactic and planning, because you must optimize the path to acquire all keys with the fewest quantity of tile drawing, because the ratio path tiles to tiles is not easy at 10:27, dragon spots in the lair can fill up quickly!
