Zathura: Adventure Is Waiting (2005)

About this game

Based on the movie, players race to reach the planet Zathura. The game is a replica of the one in the film in many ways, incorporating a turn key which produces game cards, a robot which is moved along the board to thwart player progress, and a house puzzle which comes apart.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.1/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 7 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
