Inkan Aarre (2005)

About this game

A new version of the most famous Finnish board game, Afrikan tähti. Designed by Kari Mannerla when 75 years old, the game is very similar to the original one from 1951, with a new map of South America instead of Africa, and seemingly better quality components. The "bug" in the original rules which allowed a player to get stuck on an island if robbed has been removed from this game. There is also a travel version which comes in a small plastic suitcase with magnetic pieces.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• 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 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
