The Legend of the Archeans
--------------------------
This game is centered on the legend of the Archean empire, a
civilization that possessed the ability to control the Earth's
core elements--fire, wind, water, and earth--through four sacred
treasures. These treasures stayed hidden from enemies for years
on the Forbidden Island, which was designed to sink if intruders
ever attempted to capture them. Set the appropriate water level
for your gaming skill, and let the adventures begin!
Capture the Four Sacred Treasures Before the Island Sinks!
----------------------------------------------------------
Your team of adventurers must work together to keep the Forbidden
Island from sinking as you seek the four treasures hidden within.
The mission is carried out using different combinations of Flood,
Treasure, and Adventurer Cards on the 24 tiles that make up the
Forbidden Island. Once you've captured each treasure using the
appropriate cards, you must make it to Fools' Landing and escape
by helicopter in order to win. If the island sinks before you
complete your tasks, the mission ends in defeat.
Use Collaborative Play to Succeed
---------------------------------
Each player is dealt an Adventure Card and given a corresponding
pawn before the game starts, designating him or her with a
certain set of strengths. This game is designed so that instead
of competing with other players, you work to find the treasures
and find out how to best use each Adventurer's strengths through
collaborative play. This stimulates problem-solving and strategy
skills.
