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

Product Information

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. This illustrates a problem with the game in that there is not a large enough punishment for incorrectly guessing the location of an item. This, combined with other players' being able to land on each other, sending them back to the village, helps make the game more varied and hence more challenging.

Two genres that I didn’t think would work well together actually do and make for a semi enjoyable 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. Knowing half the forest give you an advantage for items you don’t know since you know that they must be on the other side of the forest. I don’t really see Enchanted Forest being the type of game that hardcore gamers are going to want to play.Despite being an older game, it didn’t surprise me that the component quality for Enchanted Forest was quite good.

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.

The game seems a little outdated as I am guessing that there is another game that has expanded on what the Enchanted Forest did.Once a player lands on that space by the end of his move, he may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. 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. 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. If you like or at least don’t mind memory games though and you can find Enchanted Forest for cheap, it might be worth picking up. If your mover lands on a blue space, look under the tree next to that space to discover what is hidden there.

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. I just played the game with a group of kind of drunk adults, and it totally worked out: we had a good and enjoyable time with a little bit of cutthroat strategies ( The first edition of the game was published by Ravensburger in Germany in 1981 under the original name Sagaland. While moving a player can move in any direction except that they must move in the same direction for the entirety of each die. 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.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. Another gameplay mechanic includes using "magic", which can either change the top card, move a player to an empty tree space, or move a player to the castle. Your mover may not share a space with another player's mover, but you may move it past another mover, still counting that space. 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.
