Elfenroads provides players with a version of Elfenland with the Elfengold expansion and a new expansion, Elfensea.
In Elfenland, young elves have to pass a very special test before they are accepted as grownups. All elf girls and elf boys receive a map of Elfenland, and they have to visit as many famous towns in Elfenland as possible, using the common types of transportation: dragons, unicorns, giant pigs, elfcycles, troll wagons, magic clouds, ferries, and rafts. These types of transportation, however, are available in limited numbers and can only be used in specific regions. Thus, an exciting race starts among the elves to find out who will make the best use of the available transportation. The one to visit the largest number of towns will win the game.
Elfengold is an expansion to Elfenland (not Elfensea). Elfengold adds gold coins, which players use to bid for the Travel Counters and some other new items. It also adds Gold Value Tokens to the towns that indicate how much gold players earn for visiting a town. There are two different Magic Spells and a new obstacle – a Sea Monster! We have added 2 Round Cards to make a longer game of six rounds. All these things work to make a great game even more tactical and exciting. We hope you enjoy playing with these additions.
In Elfensea, just as in Elfenland, young elves have to pass a very special test before they are accepted as grownups. The same rules apply in Elfensea as in Elfenland, except as described in the rules. Also note that the map is different and the common types of transportation: dragons, unicorns, giant pigs, magic clouds, whales, and rafts differ somewhat as well. As with Elfensea, these types of transportation are available in limited numbers and can only be used in specific regions. Thus, an exciting race starts among the elves to find out who will make the best use of the available transportation. The player with the most points will win the game.
