Who are the Action - Scenes from "Indiana Jones" or "Hunting the Stone" may, will watch in awe when he "The adventurer is based" on the table and play. The game of Alderac Entertainment Group with the original title The Adventurers - Temple of Chac, which appears this year in the sale of Pegasus games simulate not only visually the struggles of a group of adventures that decode in an abandoned Maya - Temple Hieroglyphs, treasures recover and survive all sorts of dangers have.

"The Adventurer" is a race game. The players take control of two adventurers - figures whose characters and abilities are slightly different from each other. Each character has such a special ability that he can bring benefits in the temple. The players start here with a more adventurous and can use the second figure as a substitute if the first adventurers do not survive the way through the temple should be.

The survival of adventurers depends heavily on the decisions of the players, either to hide the gems and thus lose time or time found before the onset of events the way through the temple to have. Whether and how severe an event impact is determined by rolling and / or the detection of cards. The movement of players is done by throwing dice. It plays a role, as a heavily laden character is: Did he, for example, already recovered 7 treasures, he has a mobility of only 4, which means that just litters of 4 or higher count as movement. Thus, the adventurers slowly

To cross the healing temple, the adventurers must deal with the following stations:

- The moving wall
The first room has movable walls, which converge on the characters. Players can here recover treasure maps or some hieroglyphics remember that they will need later in Lavaraum

- The stone path
A huge boulder is moving ever faster towards the only exit of the temple. The players have to make sure to leave the temple before the rock has blocked the exit. And of course they should never come under the boulder. The stone path has a few branches to dungeons, in turn, can be salvaged treasures.

- The Lavaraum.
In Lavaraum players can only move across loose stone tablets. Some of these boards are pitfalls. Anyone who has impressed in the room with the moving walls trap those pleasure craft is running now in danger of drowning in lava. In Lavaraum there are two cracks, einstrahlt on the sunlight. On these fields, players can bring their spare adventurers into the game, if the first character is already lost in the depths of the temple.

- The Waterfall
The vermeindlich shortcut through the river can prove fatal if the adventurer does not manage to escape from the waterfall. In order to overcome this successfully, he may by no means a one roll.

- The shaky bridge
Here the player has an advantage of the first to reach the bridge, because he finds them before halfway in stable condition. Subsequent adventurers have to expect that are already broken out shoots from the bridge and the crossing is obstructed.

Who reached the main threats to these wins the game when he has recovered most of the treasures from the temple.

"The Adventurer" is a fast-paced betting on the nature of an abstract Adventure - computer game. One might almost read the "Walkthrough" somewhere and trying out new variants in each round, combining the speed of movement and the skill in the treasure hunt again. The tension is maintained while not anticipated by the time of random catastrophic events. It can occur when a lack of luck with the dice quite often that you lose the game instead of safely and successfully to reach the exit.

The equipment of the game is better than acting alone because of the rocks and the walls of a highlight. The Adventure - feeling is fully met here graphically. One shortcoming is that the total of 12 figures all are decorated in gray, Remedy is only one extra pack with colorful characters that must be acquired separately but must.

The game is entertaining, but not too complex, because it's just a race. Especially in children is likely that this good combination of adventure game moment of happiness and excitement very well received.
