Rules quiz
How much of Magic Keys do you still remember? Each question opens on its answer.
What happens if all of your dice end up set aside on sleep symbols during your turn?
Your turn ends immediately without pulling a key, and the pawn stays where it is instead of returning to the starting space.
How can you get your set aside dice back during your turn?
You take back all your set aside dice if your pawn stops on the red Recovery space, or at any time you may drop one fake key you own into the magic pond to bring them all back.
How many gems does each color of true key give?
Purple gives 2 gems, blue gives 2, green gives 3, yellow gives 4, and the golden key gives 5.
