About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a fantastic adventure in Andor Junior, where you and your friends take on the roles of brave heroes – a magician, a warrior, an archer, and a dwarf – on a quest to save lost wolf cubs in the dwarven mines. But the journey isn't straightforward! Before venturing into the depths, you'll need to complete the tasks set by the old bridge guard. Only after proving your worth will he allow passage to the mine.

While you're busy with the rescue mission, a wicked dragon is making its way towards Rietburg Castle. If it reaches the castle before you find all the cubs and complete your tasks, the kingdom will be in peril, and defeat will be inevitable. Victory depends on you working together, planning every step, and using each hero's unique abilities to overcome challenges. Each game presents new missions and puzzles to solve, ensuring constant fun and cooperation.

Andor Junior is the perfect gateway to the world of Andor, offering an engaging and accessible cooperative experience for the whole family. With adapted rules and brisk gameplay, it's ideal for introducing younger players to the realm of fantasy and adventure board games, without sacrificing strategy and excitement. Its quality components and captivating theme promise hours of collaborative fun.
