Who it's for

Families with kids who love a physical, tactile game where the board itself fights back.

About this game

Forbidden Bridge sends young treasure hunters racing across a rickety, motorized rope bridge guarded by a sleeping idol who really does not like being disturbed. Roll dice to move your explorer toward the jewels, but every footstep risks waking the guard, and once he stirs the whole bridge shakes for real, sending careless pieces tumbling off. Grab one jewel for your canoe and stash a second in your backpack before anyone else manages the same nerve-wracking crossing. It is equal parts race and tightrope walk, and the shaking bridge never stops being funny.
