Tales of the Arabian Nights

Benjamín Amorínstar7,0

Really Unique Adventure Board Game. A classic game that it's a mix between a RPG and an 'Choose Your Own Adventure Book' with Arabic Fantasy theme. Beautiful, surrealistic, and hyper funny! If there is much people playing can be very long, but with 3-4 players it's an awesome experience.

You build a rudimentary character and then move around the board having adventures. The "goal" of the game is to get 20 points in some combination of points and then make it back to the city at the center of the board. For your own sanity, ignore scoring other than as an end game timer. The real goal of the game is to just have a wonderful time seeing where everyone's stories take them. It's less of a "game" and more of a giant multiplayer choose your own adventure book, where each encounter gives you 5 or 10 different ways you can react to the situation. Sometimes, it can be a little ambiguous as to what you chose to do at any point, for example, I had an encounter with "Dark Creatures" and I looked at my options and saw I could pick "Aid". I was thinking this would be 'aid the dark creatures' but as it happens when the book was read I had actually chosen to aid the previously unmentioned victims of said dark creatures for which I was rewarded handsomely. Still fun, but maybe a little confusing. Another example was we had a player who encountered a small treasure. He was like, sure I'll take it, and chose "take". This lead to the book describing a scene of thievery that the player had not really intended. Despite this, everyone had a marvelous time getting into the stories that unfolded. Player's only real complaint was that with 6, the time between turns was a little too long.
