Vibe's take

Bright and adventurous, with just enough card-timing to keep it interesting. Kids enjoy the treasure grabbing, grown-ups enjoy outplaying the trolls.

About this game

A children's adventure card game with griffins, cliff runners and an angry troll problem. Evil trolls have stolen the treasure of the ancestors and the magic tribal amulet, and the heroes of Kaskaria race down to the trolls' lair at the bottom of a volcanic crater to take them back. You play action cards cleverly to rescue as much treasure as you can and snatch the amulet. It is set collection with a fantasy coat of paint, simple enough for six-year-olds, with enough decisions about timing that parents don't fall asleep. Two to four players, about twenty minutes.
