Das Haus Anubis

Der Schatz von Anubis

There seems to be no end to the exciting events involving the inmates of House Anubis , again they are facing a challenging task. The friends of “Club of the old Willow” need to find the treasure of Anubis to break the curse that has been put on Nina’s grandmother. To do so they must , represented by players, move through the rooms in the mysterious boarding school and the antiques shop and complete seven tasks. These tasks are pictured on the secret wall. The player adopt the roles of Nina, Daniel, Delia and Felix and must cooperate in order to stand up to events and the time mechanism. At different locations on the double-layered board the members of the club can find hidden clues and valuable items, but also come across Victor and Raven. You move your character and discover secrets by uncovering a tile, drawing of a card and implementing the instruction. Movement must be enacted by facing a movement test, that is, you roll and move up to the number of steps indicated by the die. When you move from one quarter of the board into another, you need additional movement points or there other special rules.

To complete a task you discard task and assistance tiles. After each round the time marker moves forward. When all seven tasks have been completed before the time marker reaches 40, all players have won together.

The Treasure of Anubis offers a wonderfully implemented summary of all episodes from Season 2 of the TV series, and pure adventure with cooperation; different starting positions of the time marker offer different levels of difficulty.
