Ravensburger Enchanted Forest Classic Family Board Game for Kids Age 4 Years and Up - 2 to 4 Players - Magical Treasure Hunt

Product Information

Start with either die and advance your mover any direction that die's full value, then advance your mover any direction with the other die's full value. You roll the dice to move around the gameboard and try to land on the blue spaces to see what is hidden under the trees. The player uses both dice separately moving the number of spaces on one die and then the spaces on the other die. Enchanted Forest is a board game designed by Alex Randolph and Michel Matschoss that requires players to remember the locations of fairytale treasures. Once a player lands on that space by the end of his move, he may look under the tree and must remember the treasure found there.

After getting the second card I was still at the castle so I decided that I might as well guess the location of the next card since I knew it was on the other side of the forest.

I am hereby challenging each and every one of you to embark on an adventuresome quest throughout our Enchanted Forest to find three fabled treasures. This illustrates a problem with the game in that there is not a large enough punishment for incorrectly guessing the location of an item. While being able to use the dice independent of each other reduces some of the luck (a great addition in my opinion), the player who rolls best has the best chance in the game. This strategy doesn’t really work since it tips off the other players to the location of the item that the King is currently looking for.

By landing on one of these spaces by exact count, the player is able to look under the corresponding tree. The player then points towards the tree that they think is hiding the object the King is looking for. While good memory and strategy can help you in the game, luck will regularly decide who ends up winning. If your mover lands on a blue space, look under the tree next to that space to discover what is hidden there.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.
