July 2009 New Specialty Toys — EducationalAge Range: 6 and up SKU or Item #: cc Launch Date: April 2009 Gender: Boys And Girls
The museum hires a team of archaeologists to head deep into a aungle to find ancient artifacts. The players of this cooperative fantasy game are that team, which must be up for elements of suspense, careful planning, teamwork, danger and humor. The game has three parts. First, players hack out the paths to the abandoned caves and temples. Second, using the connected paths, they search for and discover the treasures. Finally, they must return safely to base camp with what they gathered. There are dangers and obstacles, such as The Creeping Claw, The Nasty Hairy Thing and Big Boulders rolling over entrances. The team may have to resort to whatever desperate remedy they find in their knapsacks to save them — a Super HeadNet, a Laser Lantern, a Piece of Broccoli, even a Smelly Sock. The game includes a 12" x 12" jungle map, pathways, movers, a tent card, a set of ancient treasure, danger, and remedy cards, and rules for regular and hard games. Launch date: April 2009.
