Description

It is Midsummer's Day and a group of Shakespearean characters try to collect the four missing items from their play from the Forest of Arden. Lurking in the heart of the forest is their nemesis who they must try to avoid at all costs.

Each player needs to carefully plan their route to pick up the 4 items that are needed for their play making sure that they do not get blocked by any of the other players. Crossing the clearing containing their nemesis will take a mixture of luck and strategic movement. At the start of each turn players roll a die to determine what order they will get to move their character. Will you take the quickest route or will you play to delay your rivals?

The game ends when all of the players have made it safely out of the forest or been abducted by the fae.

The first player to exit the forest with all 4 items for their play is the winner.

If you are forced to confront your nemesis will be lucky enough to overcome them or will you be robbed of the items that you have secured so far and forced back into the forest?

Take too long and if darkness falls then the evil fae will emerge to come to claim you.
