1000 and One Treasures

What to Expect

Players take on the roles of Ali Baba and friends trying to collect treasures from a cave before bandits return. You place figures on tiles and move according to the treasures on your current tile. You replace tiles strategically while bandits move closer to the cave entrance. The player who escapes with the most treasures wins.

Who Is This Game For?

Designed for children aged 5 and up, this is a family-friendly, quick game lasting about 20 minutes. It suits beginners and young players due to its simple rules and accessible gameplay.

How It Works

The game uses Tile Placement: tiles form the cave layout, and players place their figures on these tiles. On your turn, you move a number of spaces equal to the treasures on your tile, then replace that tile from the deck, orienting it as you wish. Bandits advance toward the cave entrance when certain tiles appear, creating tension. The goal is to escape with as many treasures as possible.

What Makes It Special

Designer Marco Teubner created this award-winning children's game, which won the Kinderspielexperten award for 5-to-9-year-olds in 2011 and received a Spiel des Jahres Kinderspiel recommendation. It uniquely blends Tile Placement with a race against bandits, appealing to families seeking tactical children's games.
