Magalon (1998)

About this game

Rivalry between wizards. The players become the wizards who travel through the mysterious forest of Magalon in search of the magic items which will allow them admission to the prestigious "Council of 11". They have to collect 3 magical items - the Amulet of Power, the Stone of Wisdom and the Ring of Immortality. Whoever possesses these 3 objects will be admitted to the Council. The aim of each player is to be the first to return to the entrance of the forest with their wizard (the arrival and departure squares) after having collected the necessary 3 items.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.9/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
