PLAYED FOR YOU
Yakari
Das kooperative Brettspiel
Yakari and his friends, Kleiner Donner, Regenbogen, Kleiner Dachs and Großer Adler, are roaming through the wilderness and find lots to see and discover and so the friends have forgotten their promise to be back home to the village on time.
Players want to help them to get back to the village home on time.
The timer is placed on a starting spot in relation to the level of difficulty and turned over. In your turn you check the timer, use die, action table and wooden disc and implement the resulting action: Should the timer have run out it is turned over and moved to the next square – should the timer thus reach a character all players have lost together. Otherwise, you roll the die and implement the action according to the color rolled; you either blow, snip, push or shove the action disc or drop it or let it slide to reach the desired action spot, all according to detailed instruction. Depending on the result of the action either a character is moved on or moved to catch up others or a character turns scout and can give you more time, because should the scout be caught by the timer, the game ends only when the timer overtakes the scout. Another possible action is that the timer is turned over without moving it. When all characters have reached the village, players win together.
For once, that is a license game that is fun to play! With simple means standard mechanisms have been felicitously combined, and the time element using a sand timer that moves along the board is simply ingenious! A nice and fun experience that needs little rules explanation and can be played alone as well!
