All those brave enough to accept the King's challenge, throw the dice to make their way over to the castle. It is here where the first treasure card is revealed and the hunt begins. Each time a treasure is found, a new card is revealed, until all the King's treasures have been found. The player who has collected the most treasures, is the winner. Enchanted Forest is a fun and clever game of memory and strategy. Families with children aged 4 and up will love hunting the forest for the hidden treasures. On average, each game takes about 20 minutes to play. Once a player knows where the currently sought treasure is, he should make his way to the castle. By landing on another specific circle, that player then can guess where the treasure is. If correct, he keeps the top card and the next is turned over. However, if wrong, the player must replace the tree and immediately return to the village.

Alan R. Moon reviewed Enchanted Forest for Games International magazine, and gave it 4 stars out of 5, and stated that " Enchanted Forest is an example of elegant simplicity. It is a must for a gamer's collection." [1] Awards [ edit ] The board consists of a village (the starting place), the Enchanted Forest itself, and the castle to which players will reveal hidden treasures to the king. Each space is a circle and, depending on the edition of the game, the trees that contain pictures of the treasures on their bottom faces will be placed at specifically coloured circles (generally blue or noted by a tree symbol). There are a maximum of six playing pieces and each treasure depicted on the bottom of the thirteen trees corresponds to a card. These thirteen cards are placed face downward at the castle, except the top card (the treasure the king is currently seeking), which is face up. While the game has some flaws and doesn’t seem that innovative today, I have to commend the game on doing a good job combining a memory and a roll and move game. Two genres that I didn’t think would work well together actually do and make for a semi enjoyable game. I am generally not a big fan of either genre and yet I thought they worked better together than they do separately. Even though I am not a big fan of memory games, Enchanted Forest is probably one of the better memory games that I have played.I am now faced with the difficult decision of how to get rid of my copy. I would feel bad giving it to someone, equally bad giving it to a charity shop for someone else to part with their money for it. Even worse adding to the world’s landfill by simply binning it.

Not knowing off the top of my head what board games came out in 1982, due to the fact that I wasn’t alive yet, I can’t necessarily say that the Enchanted Forest didn’t deserve the award but I can confidently say that the game would never have won the award today. It might be a finalist in the Kinderspiel Des Jahres (Children’s Game of the Year), but I don’t think it would win that award either if it was released today. I think that is mostly because while the game did some really interesting things for its’ time, the game feels kind of outdated at this time. Your turn is now over. On your next turn, you may stay on the key space and try to answer the new face-up treasure tile, or you may move away from the castle to do more searching under trees. Before beginning the first game, press out the 13 treasure tiles and 13 treasure tokens from the paper sheets. Before gameplay commences, the scene is set by a king wanting to find an heir to the throne, as in his old age he has borne no children. Through the years, he has heard about the magical and mythical treasures that lie hidden in the Enchanted Forest below his large castle. He therefore proclaims that whoever finds three of these treasures for him will succeed him. From here on in, gameplay begins.

At the beginning of each game you open the large board out (it is twice the size of the box and measures roughly 37cm x 53cm) and put the trees on the blue tree icons without anyone knowing which treasure is hidden where. Each player chooses a coloured, wooden playing piece and places it near the star space in the village. The treasure tiles are mixed up and placed face down in the castle courtyard with only the top tile face up. My recorded win rate in marvel champions is about 65%, which feels about right. More than anything I want wins to feel hard fought and losses to have felt winnable up until we got crushed, whatever... Raya and the Last Dragon hasn’t even been out a week and we’re already seen some incredible merchandise to go alongside the movie. Earlier in the week, we reported on the new Happy Meal toys coming to McDonald’s and we’ve already covered the huge collection of Funko POPs! that are on the way.

The first edition of the game was published by Ravensburger in Germany in 1981 under the original name Sagaland.

I thought the final puzzle was stretching it a bit for what was required, but I guess now I know what to look out for in the future. If the two star difficulty tripped us up this much, I imagine the higher level ones are impossible for our feeble brains. The Exit series of games come with a range of difficulty. The Enchanted Forest is weighted 2/5 (1/5 being easy, 5/5 being very hard). This is an ideal introduction to the series of Exit games, but this is far from being a walk in the woods! Please note that this is a one-time activity, also known as a ‘destructible game’. You might need to cut, fold and draw on some of the components… It's been many years since I read the Hyperion/Endymion books, so time for a re-read this winter. Simmons was doing a science-fiction Canterbury Tales, but brought lots of bold ideas to the table. I... Mix up the treasure tiles and place them face-down in the castle courtyard. Turn the top treasure tile face-up, revealing a treasure.

End of the Game

For players experienced in the Exit series you might want to leave this one as it is on the easy side and some of the puzzles do have a familiar feeling. However I would recommend Exit: The Enchanted Forest for people new to the series or if you would like to introduce the concept to younger players (with parental guidance of course). The story will certainly keep everyone engaged and the puzzles are fairly simple although may require a bit of head scratching at times. If your mover lands on a blue space, look under the tree next to that space to discover what is hidden there. Try to remember what you find, and don't let the other players see it!
