Het Huis Anubis (2007)

About this game

Won the 2007 Dutch Toy of the Year award for Ages 8-12. Challenge the mysteries of the House of Anubis and try to avoid the watchful eyes of Victor. The first one to collect the 6 secret tokens and get back to his/her room is the winner. In each turn, a player draws a card and plays a card, trying to locate the tokens. Some cards are movement cards, others help in finding the tokens, yet others are keys that help open doors or theft cards that enable a player to steal a key from another player.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.6/5 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.
