Tales of the Arabian Nights

Fiftheye Productions tries out Tales of the Arabian Nights by Zman Games!

Introduced to us by our new player Lisa, this fantastic board game has players exploring ancient Arabia while trying to spin stories and discover destiny. It uses a series of charts and ‘encounter matrices’ to feature over 2500 different possible encounters across the span of a game. I wasn’t able to make it, so the players were:

Lisa, who was kind enough to demo the game
Graz,
Jackie,
and Kat

Information on the game can be found on the creator’s website and on BoardGameGeek.
