## Description
Curse of the Idol is an adventure that throws you into a race against time and your friends! The goal is to be the first to snatch the sword from the stone, pop over to the temple to choose the right hole in the idol, and if luck is on your side and you grab the 'blood stone', the challenge is to race back to camp before someone steals it from you. Imagine a game that feels like a more complex Ludo, but with a dash of Indiana Jones. You can use your own pawn or even the black adventurer to playfully block your opponents' paths. Speaking of paths, to reach that central statue with the blood stone, you'll have to navigate some gears that turn and change the board on certain squares with each move. It's a game with 3D components that add extra charm, but be careful when assembling it the first time, okay? Mark the corners to avoid headaches later. It's the kind of game that entertains the whole family, with an exploration feel and a bit of luck from the dice rolls.
