In Enchanted Forest, players explore a magical forest where treasures are hidden under trees. Moving from tree to tree, you peek at treasures and try to remember their locations. When the king asks for a treasure, players race to the castle with the correct information. The game combines Memory, point-to-point movement, and tactical planning.

This family game suits children from 4 years old and groups looking for a moderately complex game with about 60 minutes playtime. It requires no prior experience and appeals to those who enjoy deduction and memory challenges.
