PLAYED FOR YOU

tiptoi

Mission im Lesedschungel

As adventurers players venture deep into the jungle in order to master challenging missions - the Hunt for the Fabled Ruby of the Maharaja or the Search for the Rarest Animals in the World provide always new challenges which you can master alone or together with up to three more players.

The game must be set up according to instructions; you should choose a table that is standing by itself, because in some of the missions you need room to move, because actions are demanded, for instance running around the table.

This means that you not only need attention and concentration and need to listen closely to what the tiptoi pen tells you and take pains to read the cards carefully and exactly but that you also need mobility and agility and dexterity for the action tasks in some missions.

You must cooperate in order to win together and at the start you choose a mission from 15 missions in three levels of difficulty. When the pen knows what you have chosen it names the six reading cards you need for the mission and then the pen tells you whose turn it is and sets a task for you. Sometimes you must move the marker and touch the movement points on the way with the pen, one after the other. The compass rose is necessary in this game for directional information and to choose player colors and levels of difficulty.

When all tasks of a mission have been completed all players win together.

For all tiptoi games there can be only one verdict - fantastically done, intensely educational, providing lots of fun intense stimulation; not for nothing the series is THE bestseller in the Ravensburger program during the last two years.
