Pferdetraum

Pferdetraum or Magical Horses was released in Europe in April, 2009, by Schmidt Spiele. Schmidt Spiele is a German puzzle and game company founded in 1907. The game is similar to the 2007 Treasure Trot game released in America.

Product
The Pferdetraum game includes the following:
 * 1 double-sided game board: 1 basic layout and 1 advanced layout
 * 4 playing pawns of Bella, Fiona, Jewel, and Thunder
 * 1 deck of 64 treasure cards
 * 1 playing die
 * 1 instruction booklet
 * 1 exclusive "Schmidt Puzzle Promo" card

Gameplay
The objective of Pferdetraum is to gather three sets of three matching treasure cards.

To begin the game, players choose either the basic or advanced game board layout and then select their playing pawn. Four treasure cards are drawn from the deck and placed face-up in the middle of the board.

To move, players either roll the die or draw a Bella Sara card and move the same number spaces as the number of symbols on the card (i.e. a card with three hearts would mean the player moves three spaces). When a player lands on a space in basic gameplay, they may choose any one of the four face-up treasure cards that matches the color of their current space: in advanced gameplay, the card must match the space's color and symbol. When a treasure card is taken, a new card is drawn from the deck to replace it.

The game is over when one player has collected three sets of three matching treasure cards. The game is expected to last approximately 15 minutes.
