Description
The Adventurers is a quick-playing game of hunting for
treasures inside a crumbling pyramid.
Each player assumes the role of one of eight Adventurers each with their
own special ability. On each turn the Adventurers
will work their way through four sections of the pyramid. Each section has its own set of tools,
treasures and wound inflicting creatures.
Useful tools can be found the entrance.
Unfortunately, so can cobras. The
next two sections hold many treasures along with either scorpions or
crocodiles. The fourth section contains
even more valuable treasures, but is guarded by wandering mummies. Just in case that doesn’t sound dangerous
enough, the pyramid is crumbling. A
stone block falls on the escape route after each adventurer’s turn. Getting hit by a falling block inflicts
another wound. All an Adventurer has do
to win the game is explore the various pyramid sections, grab as much treasure
as possible and escape from the pyramid before the falling blocks completely
seal off the exit. Just one more thing,
the more stuff you carry and the wounds you take the slower your Adventurer
moves. Be careful, an Adventurer can
only win if they escape. Any Adventurer
trapped in the pyramid loses. So, are
you brave enough to enter the Pyramid of Horus?
