Elfenland Slip into the role of a brave elf and float on a dragon to wipe clouds or ride on the back of a unicorn over meadows and fields. It goes a little slower with the elf wheel, the trolley or the giant pig. But anyway, a trip to the land of imagination is definitely worth it. Fairytale and beautiful. How to play Elvland: * The game plan shows 20 locations, which are connected via a network of paths. The paths lead through different types of terrain: forests, deserts, plains, mountains, lakes and rivers. * For each type of terrain, there are certain means of transport that can be used there, a total of seven different ones. The unicorn can be used e.g. in the desert or in the mountains, but not in the plain. * Each player tries to visit as many different locations as possible in four rounds. * Each player first plans their personal itinerary per round. In turn, different means of transport are placed on the paths. Each player has a maximum of five means of transport per round. * For each means of transport a player uses on their route from place to place, they must hand in an associated travel card. Without a suitable travel card, a means of transport must not be used. Each player has eight travel cards per round. * Whoever has visited the most places after the fourth round is the winner.
