It was a long time ago when citizens of Varaždin forever banished the evil witch and the dragon from their town. But they didn΄t know what kind of bad luck is going to catch up with them.
While fleeing the town, the witch and the dragon have stolen a big blacksmith's chest full of treasure, gold and silver coins.
Wanting to restore their town after the big fire, the citizens of Varaždin have realized that their chest is gone. They were looking for it all over the town...but there was no sign of the chest. They have remembered the curse uttered by the witch as she was leaving the town: “Your treasure is going to be scattered all over Croatia and you will never be able to restore your town.”
Deliberating in the town hall, the citizens of Varaždin have made an agreement that they will send the town guard called Purgari to pursuit the stolen treasure and return it to Varaždin.
Be one of the Purgars and try to return the stolen treasure to Varaždin.
In a return you will get a valuable blacksmiths coin made of gold.
„Stolen Chest Adventure“ is an educational board game that covers content from the cultural heritage and tradition of the Republic of Croatia.
