SPIEL 2016 XII: IELLO Yarns — Kanagawa, The Mysterious Forest, Around the World in 80 Days, Welcome Back to the Dungeon, and Tales & Games: Aladdin & the Magic Lamp

SPIEL 2016 XII: IELLO Yarns — Kanagawa, The Mysterious Forest, Around the World in 80 Days, Welcome Back to the Dungeon, and Tales & Games: Aladdin & the Magic Lamp
Board Game: Kanagawa
• Kanagawa from Bruno Cathala and Charles Chevallier highlights French publisher IELLO's strength as a publisher: Doing whatever it takes to make a game as beautiful as possible. The game board isn't really needed for play assuming you can memorize which cards to lay out face down based on the number of players, but the use of bamboo in the creation of this board — which rolls up to fit in the box — makes it something that you want to have on the table and adds to the thematic nature of this game, which asks you to be an artist and create something beautiful yourself.





Board Game: The Mysterious Forest
• Carlo A. Rossi's The Mysterious Forest transforms Daniel Lieske's Wormworld Saga into a cooperative game in which young explorers need to collect the right equipment so that they can make their way through said forest.





Board Game: Welcome Back to the Dungeon
• Welcome Back to the Dungeon sees Antoine Bauza recreating Masato Uesugi's Welcome to the Dungeon, keeping the gameplay the same while introducing four new adventurers with new equipment to test players' bravery in a new way.





• Tiago Damey's Aladdin & the Magic Lamp is the newest title in Purple Brain Creations' Tales & Games series, with IELLO distributing the title in Europe and the U.S. Each round, players decide how much risk they want to take when searching for treasure in the cave that holds the lamp, with players racing to rub the lamp when they conflict on what they want to do.





Board Game: Around the World in 80 Days
• In addition to its Tales & Games line for players of all ages, Purple Brain Creations is launching a literature line for slightly older players, with the first title being Around the World in 80 Days, which takes David Parlett's Hare & Tortoise and adapts it to Phileas Fogg's journey from and to London, with players now needing to manage a supply of pounds instead of carrots.
