Complete and accounted for, the pieces and components are in excellent condition, no cards are bent, and the miniatures aren't broken. The box has a badly blown-out corner but no dishing.
The Adventurers features a fast-paced thrilling run through the Temple of Chac, the Mayan rain god. As your intrepid adventurers delve through the ruins, they face deadly traps guarding the ancient relics they prize.
It's a very light dice roller, a fun simulation of Indiana-Jones-style temple robbers. Players move through a Mayan temple, risking constant death while trying to get to the exit, carrying as much treasure as they dare. The more treasure cards you have, the fewer actions you might get this round. If your character gets killed, a second one can drop in, and you may still get enough treasure and escape to win.
The temple starts with a room of crushing walls, leading into a winding passage that takes you past a lava pit and locked alcoves. The passage goes on with two shortcuts that might save you time: a fast river or a rickety wooden bridge. It would be best if you balanced attempts to grab treasure from the rooms as you passed through while staying ahead of a massive boulder tumbling down the passage after you. If you have to let the boulder pass or be crushed to death, then you're forced to jump into the river and risk drowning to get ahead. Otherwise, the boulder reaches the exit before you, blocking it, and you're trapped forever.
It combines basic lucky dice-rolling, a lucky card draw for the treasure, and some decision-making about possible risks. It is beautifully produced, with 12 small but detailed plastic miniatures and an exotic and deadly temple. Adults may tire from repeats of The Adventurers, but kids will get lots of thrills.
