About the game

What you do in a play session

In Forbidden Bridge, you're a daring adventurer hunting for precious gems in the ruins of a lost civilization. The path is fraught with danger: first, cross a treacherous river, then climb a cliff, and finally face the forbidden bridge — a motorized structure that sways like a fishing net when the fearsome stone idol is activated! Each turn, you roll the die and move, trying to grab gems and return to camp before rivals or the angry idol knock you into the crocodile-infested waters. The thrill here is the adrenaline of watching your character dangle from the bridge as it shakes for real — a spectacle that makes kids scream and adults laugh like fools. With sturdy components and simple yet electrifying gameplay, Forbidden Bridge is pure fun in motion.
