Elfenland is a wonderfully unique game by designer Alan R. Moon. This game is a revision of a long-time favorite of mine--Elfenroads. If I had any concerns about Elfenroads, it was the length of time it took to play it--rarely less than 3 hours. But with Elfenland there is no such problem, as it plays in 45-75 minutes. In Elfenland, your goal is for your elf visit as many (of 20) cities as possible in the course of 4 turns. The modes of transportation available include giant pigs, troll wagons, elf cycles, unicorns, magic clouds, dragons and rafts. As you might guess, each has different capabilities and some are far better than others over the different terrain involved--including open roads, forest paths, desert, mountain trails, rivers and lakes. And you must hope you can get the right combination of movement cards and transportation counters to allow the moves you want to make. Meanwhile, your opponents are trying to accomplish the same goals with sometimes conflicting, and sometimes complimentary, methods. Everyone gets one "trouble" counter as well, which allows a particularly nasty move at least once a game. This is a highly engaging game of strategic planning, with a modest amount of luck thrown in to spice it up. The game plays well with 2-6 players--probably 9 years old and up. This is an all-time classic game; fun for the whole family, unique in concept, with great artwork. You've got a real treat in store if you've yet to get this one for your collection.
