Landyland (1998)

About this game

A fun little colour one page Cheapass Games game that was given away at GenCon 1998. Features artwork by Phil Foglio. Designed at the height of Magic: The Gathering, it is designed to make use of all those extra 'Land' cards, hence the name. Board spaces are colour coded to match the five Magic land colours. Players begin with a token on each of five different tracks and, through dice rolling and card play, must get three of their tokens to the finish area to win.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 3 to 6.
• Rules load. At 2.2/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
