Description

In A Wayfarer's Tale, 1-4 players race to explore uncharted islands, collecting Treasure and avoiding Monsters along the way to score the most points. Turns are taken simultaneously, and there are no rounds in this 30-45 minute Roll & Write voyage of discovery. Instead, players choose from a shared pool of dice each turn, adding 2 dice values together to enlist the services of an intrepid Explorer to help them traverse tricky terrain. Play continues until a player visits every Town on the island, but true victory is measured in fame and wealth! Your final score in A Wayfarer's Tale is based on how many Towns you visit, how much Treasure you discover, and how many Monsters you face. Good luck, Wayfarers, and may the most bountiful expedition win! —description from the designer
