The Royal Elf Family is coming to visit their Mountain Kingdom! They want us elves to fill their treasure chests with the different gems we mine. However, Ogres have heard about the visit and plan to grab all the valuables for themselves. We must do our best to get Royals & Ogres alike to share the goodies. Easy to say - this requires lots of tricky teamwork with each game increasing in difficulty. Strap on your invisible shields, dear elves, & head for the mines. The Royals are coming! It comes with three sets of rules, for younger children (5-7 yrs), middle years (7-12 yrs) and tough adult play - it's three games in one box! Includes: 12 x 12" board, special die, 4 elf movers and collector cards, 4 royal treasure chests, and 3 sets of rules
Play as friends, not as enemies! Family Pastimes games foster the spirit of cooperation. Players help each other climb a mountain, make a community, complete a space exploration... They never play against each other. After all, the initial impulse to play a game is social; that is, we bring out a game because we want to do something together. How ironic then that in most games, we spend all our efforts trying to bankrupt someone, destroy their armies - in other words, to get rid of one another!
At Family Pastimes we believe that people of different ages and abilities should be able to play side by side, each making their best contribution. We are all there together when we finish the game to take joy in our successes and wonder how we might work together even better the next time we play. Thus, Family Pastimes games will prove to be a friendly form of fun. Socialization, entertainment, academic learning, character growth, etc. - whatever your objectives, we invite you to realize them by cooperative means. We hope you enjoy playing and learning together!
