Objective
Enchanted Forest is a strategic family board game where players compete to find fairy-tale treasures hidden beneath trees in the forest. The goal is to be the first player to uncover three treasures and report them to the king.
Components
- 1 Game Board featuring a village, a castle, and a forest
- 13 Trees, each hiding a fairy-tale object
- 13 Fairy-Tale Cards, each depicting one of the objects
- 6 Player Pieces in different colors
- 2 Dice
Setup
- Shuffle the 13 Fairy-Tale Cards and place them face-down as a stack next to the board.
- Position the trees on marked spaces in the forest, placing one treasure face down under each tree.
- Place each player's piece in the village.
Gameplay
The game is played in turns proceeded in clockwise order. Each turn consists of the following steps for the player:
- Roll the Dice: The player rolls both dice.
- Move: The player moves their piece forward by the exact number of spots as rolled. You can move in any direction.
- Look Under Trees: If you end your move on a tree space, secretly look at the treasure beneath.
- If you land on a space occupied by another player, you send that player back to the village.
Scoring Points
When a player thinks they have identified the object the king is looking for, they must go to the castle to prove it:
- You must roll the exact number to enter the castle.
- Reveal the top Fairy-Tale Card from the stack.
- If the treasure under the tree matches the object on the card, keep the card and draw a new one.
- If it doesn’t match, place the card face down again and leave the castle.
Winning
The first player to collect three Fairy-Tale Cards while in the castle wins the game.
