Description:


Long before the sun rises in our lands, Aladdin and his friends are already busy, searching the Dragons' caves for treasure. Treasures they will take to the city to buy the magical artifacts available only in the Caliph's palace. Along the way, they may haggle with traders in the market and visit the magician to acquire his arcane spells. Taking treasures from dragons and dealing with traders and magicians may be interesting, but not as important as acquiring the Caliph's marvelous artifacts. And marvelous they are: flying carpets, magic lamps, keys to the palace, and other objects of power and wonder. Although the rules for playing the game are simple, the strategies for winning are not. On every turn, a player must decide whether to concentrate on taking treasures, getting spells, or visiting the Caliph to barter for his artifacts. Aladdin's Dragons is a game with subtle strategies to challenge the most ardent of game players. But the rules are simple and the game is fun and exciting for casual players. May Allah be with you!

Aladdin Fun with Aladdin

The refreshingly different gameplay will cause the first game to last a bit longer, but it is entertainingly competitive and creative.

Aladdin Different, but very good

This game has a different style of play, but works well. Players have tokens ranging from a low number to a high number. Players place the tokens in dragon caves (to win treasures), in buildings (to win magic cards or other benefits) or in the Palace to earn magic/treasure from the prince. Once these tokens are placed (secretly!) the second phase of the game reveals them from caves to palace, giving players benefits or treasures appropriately (sometimes you want to have the highest score, sometimes a lower score...depends on the location)

Try to find a demo game to play if you aren't sure. It plays much better than the game box looks, but once you play it, that won't matter anymore.

Aladdin Takes time, but worth it

My husband and I played this game for the first time a couple of weekends ago. We really enjoyed it. The couple we played it with had never played it before either. It took longer than usual to learn the rules, but once we got the hang of it we really enjoyed it. Very interesting and very different game--unlike any game I've played before. I highly recommend it.
