Der Mysteriöse Wald

Wandering along the memo path

Jonas is entering a fantasy world by accessing a magical painting and crosses a mysterious forest, finding items and having to memorize what he finds, because he will need those items on his journey.

In Phase 1 the face-down path is set out using Forest cards, Wanderer cards and one Final Battle card, as stated in the rules, and four randomly chosen spots on the backpack board are filled with randomly chosen Loki tiles. Then each path card in turn is revealed and players memorize the equipment depicted on the card and then put the card back face-down. In Phase 2 you prepare the backpack for the hike across the forest. In turn, each player rolls four dice, chooses two symbols and puts the corresponding item tiles on the backpack board. If you roll Loki, you must take a face-down Loki and place it on the backpack. When the backpack is filled, Phase 3, the hike through the forest, begins. Each path card in turn is turned up and you put Jonas on it. If you can put all necessary items from the backpack on the card, the next card is revealed, and so on! If you miss an item, you can turn over a Loki tile and either take an item of your choice or swap an item from the backpack for one from stock. When Jonas arrives at the last card, the Final Battle, and can fight the Queen of Drakonia with the necessary equipment, all win together.

An enchanting game with fantastic graphics, lovely components and a marvelous mix of mechanism; the mix of memorizing, rolling dice and cooperative consultations on what to take works very well. Due to the changing path cards each game is different and challenging.
