About Key to the Kingdom

The aim is to go around the game board until you've found the "Key treasure card" plus one more treasure card and then escape the kingdom. You may also steal treasures from the other players. From the beginning you have 8 different equipment cards, which you need to use to pass traps or defeat monsters. Sometimes you might lose 1 or more of your pieces of equipment, but there's a possibility to get them back at a couple of places on the board.
