Treasure Quest (1996)

About this game

Spatial strategy game where players take turns placing their cardboard treasure cards in such a way as to reveal as many of their particular treasure symbol (either gold pieces or rubies) as possible. Cards have cut-outs in them so that symbols from previous layers can be used. Highest score wins. Close to the abstract Chango.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 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.
