Description

Get ready for a thrilling adventure with Ali Baba, a classic board game designed by Gunter Baars. First published in 2002, this game is perfect for 2 to 4 players looking for a fun and exciting experience that can be enjoyed in just 30 minutes. The rules are simple and easy to learn, making it accessible to players of all ages, especially children. The game is based on the Arabian novel and features beautiful treasure cards, a clever lid with dials, and a dash of luck. In Ali Baba, players take turns twisting the dials on the lid to match the symbols on the genie card in play, trying to uncover the treasure cards beneath. The goal is to collect as many treasure cards as possible, but beware of the snake card, which can ruin your luck and make you forfeit all your treasure. The game continues until the final genie card is played or the last snake is found, and the player with the most treasure cards wins. With its unique blend of memory, push your luck, and pattern movement mechanics, Ali Baba is a game that will keep you on the edge of your seat, eager to see what treasures you'll discover next.
