Why It's On The List
- It's the old "Choose Your Own Adventure" books in board game form... and, with the right players, a completely engrossing & enjoyable two hour "experience game" romp.
Tips & Tricks:
- Play with 3 players - that way every one gets something to do on each turn & stays involved.
- You can make the game shorter by using a smaller victory point total... but then you miss some of the fun of the sprawling nonsense of chasing your goals.
- I can't emphasize enough how much you need the right players... when you have that (I'm looking at you, Jeff Myers & Richard LeQueiu), the experience is sublime. And hysterical.
Extras
- Here's what I wrote about Tales of the Arabian Nights for my 2010 Top 100.
- The version pictured is the most recent - which has the most extensive Book of Tales and a lovely graphic design by Universal Head.
