About the game
Get ready for a magical journey through the mystical landscapes of Brittany! In Korrigans, you take on the role of a playful spirit (or a fairy, if you prefer) in search of hidden treasures. The goal is simple yet strategic: you control two little Korrigans and must move them across the board to collect animal and gold tokens. But don't think it's just a casual stroll! Animal tokens are your key to unlocking gates and accessing new areas of the map, allowing you to explore every corner of this fantastic setting.

The game features a fun element of luck and surprise: each round, a rainbow is placed on the board, and it's this rainbow that determines where the long-awaited pot of gold will appear. If you're clever and in the right place at the right time, you can secure an incredible score. The pot of gold doesn't just pop up anywhere; it appears in rows or columns not blocked by the rainbow, adding a constant layer of anticipation.

At the end, the race gets intense. If you reach the pot with just one of your Korrigans, you sum up the value of the gold you've collected. But, if you're a master navigator and bring both spirits to the treasure, you get a bonus of five extra points! It's a light, dynamic exploration game, perfect for those who love folklore themes and a racing competition that keeps everyone on edge until the very last second. Can you find the pot of gold before your friends do?
