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

Product Information

Playing Inscryption, but the goddamn Angler boss (the second boss) has beaten me so many times, I'm losing interest. His bullshit tactics are decidedly unfun. Players are most likely to do well if they have a good memory and can remember the location of all the treasures they find on their travels, not just the one which matches the current tile. With 13 different treasures and locations this is quite a challenge, especially for younger players or those with a poor memory. The box tells you what all the treasures are as well as which fairy tale they are from, which might help children to remember the treasure more easily by giving them meaning.

If you think you know the location of the treasure shown on the face-up treasure tile at the castle, you may try to earn that treasure tile as follows:

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. Mix up the trees and place them on the tree icons next to the blue spaces on the game board. No one should know which treasure is hidden where. Do not worry too much if you cannot find the treasure called for at the castle at any given time. It is more important to remember the location of those which you do find. There is strategy involved by watching the behaviour of other players and potentially risking racing them to them the tile cards if they give away the location of the treasure as well as trying to hide that you are going to the castle. It’s a good game for practicing poker faces.

Enchanted Forest is a board game that for me, needs no introduction, as it was a game I loved myself as a child. I have actually asked my Mum for it a couple of times but it appears it was donated many years ago. So I was super excited to be asked to review it. For people that haven’t come across it before it’s a classic family board game from Ravensburger for 2-6 players, which involves around going on a treasure hunt. The story never feels menacing and could easily be read to younger players without fear of causing nightmares. All of the characters you meet are easily recognisable and are drawn very well. As always with the Exit series the puzzles feel well linked with the story and enhance it rather than get in the way. The Enchanted Forest falls into the Novice two star level of difficulty and should not really pose a problem for many players. As with all the exit games each puzzle does include two hints and (in the worst case scenario) a solution should you really struggle, however just the first hint is normally enough to push you in the right direction. Heigh Ho Heigh Ho, It’s Off To Work We Go Movement is focused around throwing two dice. According to the general rule, each dice throw outcome is considered a separate move, e.g., a 6 and 5 could be consider as either 11 in one direction, or 5 in one direction and 6 in the other, or vice versa. As each person throws the dice, his aim is to land on a circle that corresponds to a tree. 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. 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.Each player chooses a mover and puts it near the star space in the village. This is the starting space for all the movers. There is also an Enchanted Forest “Sagaland” version of the game available which is a similar concept, but you are remembering the location of Disney Princesses to bring them to afternoon tea. While the game play is the same I think the Fairy Tale version will have much wider appeal making it a great present. I think the game is best suited for children age 5 to 9, but it will appeal to older children and adults too.
