About the game

What you do in a play session

In Magic Keys, you and your friends are adventurers seeking the king's lost memories, hidden in a treasure chest in the Forest of Keys. The game is a mix of luck and strategy, where you roll dice to move along a trail filled with true and false keys. When you land on a space with a key, you can try to open the treasure chest. If the key is true, you earn gems as a reward! But beware: if all your dice 'fall asleep,' your turn ends immediately. The goal is to collect the required number of gems before the other players. With simple mechanics and a charming theme, Magic Keys is perfect for a quick and fun game with family or friends.
