Doorways to Adventure (1986)

About this game

Another entry in the "VCR as game component" genre of games. The object is to bribe, ransom and scheme your way to riches. Players bid against each other for the treasures that appear behind colorful doors. But also have to deal with hidden dangers and penalties. Classic film clips and graphics add a dimension of sight and sound to the game.

Does it fit your group?

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