I like hopping from tile to tile and I like the gamble of trying to grab stuff from right under the nose of the villain.

Overall, Indiana Jones Cryptic was a very enjoyable evening, and I have repackaged it to pass along to other members of our local game group.Over the weekend, Lucasfilm dropped an exciting new trailer exciting new trailer for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. The cards could be better (you may want to sleeve them), but the biggest concern is the replayability! It will tell you to open the envelope marked Covenant of Raiders, which will contain all you need for your first game. There are variable setups and phases for the game to make sure you get your money’s worth and supports 2-10 players.

The game felt you were in a movie:the gather phase feeling you were gathering information and resources, but knowing that a big battle was coming … you just didn’t know when! Or a run of snakes could appear which makes it impossible to do anything except watch the sands of time disappear. Play these Character Cards in sets and runs to score points, while Power Cards add fun new twists to the classic card gameplay. Every image feels lovingly crafted, from Marion’s rakish grin to Marcus’ flamboyant jab with a fountain pen. It’s precisely those action-packed moments that Funko Games’ Indiana Jones: Sands of Adventure tries to reproduce in a board game.So when the chance to review a game that has gamers solving puzzles through the movies came up, I jumped at the opportunity acting like a second grader saying “ooh ooh pick me! Some of the violence from the films is casually ignored or glossed over, making this playable with an audience that may not be ready for the face-melting goodness of films themselves. He would not have been able to play alone, I would say it would work for 12/13 and up in that respect. Then read the instructions in the journal, gather any components it shows, and do your best to solve the puzzle.

Includes 3 adventures with unique envelopes of components to decipher clues, outwit foes, and escape perils! Nothing is destroyed in the playing of the game, so it can easily be passed on and shared with other puzzle game aficionados or 1980s movie buffs. While you get a final score and ranking at the end of each scenario, this is more of an activity than a game. First couple of games are going to take a little bit longer, especially as your not entirely sure how the timed phase will play out but ongoing games will be done well within 45 minutes.

The only way to win to to play enough “fight” cards (see the character cards above) to knock out the current bad guy, but you can only play those “fight” cards if you can match the card on top (symbol or color). If, at the end of your turn, you happen to draw a snake card, the gameplay halts until you roll a torch icon on the die. I think we made it through the whole box losing only a few coins on the puzzles, but definitely lost a fair share of rewards on the pathway drawings. The giant serpent headed sand timer works brilliantly, and its operation is integral to the gameplay itself!

Countering the negative on replay value, nothing gets destroyed during play so this is a game you can replay with other friends or pass on when you’re done. Time is running out, and it’s up to Indiana Jones and his friends to rescue the Ark of the Covenant before it falls into the wrong hands!
