Jewels in the Attic (1992)

About this game

A kingdom of glittering jewels awaits any group of adventurers who prove their craftiness to the Jewelkeeper. Fun seekers work together to decode the Jewelkeeper's tricks and traps that protect his treasure. Your house is the gameboard! - a drafty, creaking mansion full of sneaky elves, mischievous furniture and laughing winds. Your mission: be clever and lucky and make your way through the mysterious rooms of this dusty old mansion - the library, guest room, and dark cellar. You will find yellow clue discs in each room, which give you rewards, activities or even trap you. You can complete challenges using your blue disc tool cards. You face your most difficult, final challenge when you reach the attic...choose wisely and capture your sparkling reward!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 18.
• Rules load. At 1.3/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
