The Quest of Dunyazad

Description

Welcome to The Quest of Dunyazad, where Dunyazad and her sister, Shahrazad, need your help creating new stories each night. In this fast-paced, cooperative memory game set in the world of the Arabian Nights , players take on the roles of Dunyazad and her friends to find story elements. Their goal is to help Shahrazad craft a new story for the King before the sun sets each day. The game is played over four 'days,' with each round lasting a frantic 90 seconds. During a round, players draw tiles from five face-down stacks to match five revealed story cards in order from left to right. While Djinn tiles provide wild-card flexibility, Guard and Hypnosis tiles act as traps that stall the team and drain the clock. Memory is key, as players must remember the locations of specific tiles across multiple rounds to succeed. If the timer runs out with tiles missing, the King's Mood Tokens are flipped to their 'disappointed' side. If all tokens are flipped, the King becomes furious and the players lose the game. If the players manage to finish the fourth day with at least one King’s Mood Token remaining on its 'happy' side, they win the game. To complement the standard adventure, 12 specialized scenarios (variants) guarantee high-stakes variety, offering modular challenges that adapt to your team's skill level. —description from the publisher
