Mystic Paths OOP

As an Apprentice in the School of Magic, you must complete your final exam. This takes place in the Eternal Forest. A location so remote, it is only found in the 4th dimension. This is the space between the spirit world and our known world. No one can traverse the Eternal Forest alone, because it is rife with magical Portals. These Portals are sealed, and may only be opened with magic words. Yes, the words are simple...people, places, or things found in our world... But you may not utter them. You must count on your teammates to speak to them for you. You will soon see, my young Apprentice, the Eternal Forest is capable of connecting the spirit world with the real world, BUT only after you connect with the minds of your teammates. SET-UP Assemble the game board and place it in the center of the table. Randomly pick 19 Portals and place them into the empty spaces on the board. Place the 5 Round Cards in one stack (face up) on the table. Each player takes one color of an Apprentice with Base, 5 Progress Tokens, and 7 NOT Tokens. Each player takes the 3 Progress Tokens that are numbered 1, 2, & 3, and places them face-up in front of them. Keep the rest in reserve. Each player places their Apprentice with the Base on the Portal that’s connected to a starting icon. (Choose the starting icon closest to you on the board. This is your starting spot). Shuffle the deck of Clue Cards and deal 4 faces down to each player. Clue Cards should remain hidden in your hand unless played on the table. Shuffle the Map Cards and deal one face down to each player. This card shows your private mapped-out Path and is never revealed until the end. OBJECT The base game is played cooperatively to achieve the highest score as a team. All of you have been transported to the Eternal Forest. Your objective is to successfully navigate each of your mapped Paths through the mystical labyrinth. Each player’s Path is unique. And only you know your own map. But your teammates are needed to open the sealed Portals along the way. Give clues to your teammates as they are the ONLY ones that can get you through to the end.
