Forbidden Bridge (1992)

About this game

A motorized adventure game in which explorers attempt to bring back gems from a lost civilization. The game is in two halves: moving across a static river, climbing a short cliff, and then moving one's explorer across the forbidden bridge. The "angry idol", when depressed, will shake the bridge in an attempt to knock the crossing explorers onto the river below.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• 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 7 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
