Description Edit | History

From Z-Man Games Webpage:

In Tales of the Arabian Nights, you are the hero or heroine in a story of adventure and wonder just like those told by Scheherazade to her spellbound sultan! You will travel the land seeking your own destiny and fortune. You will learn stories and gain wisdom to share with others. Will you be the first to fulfill your destiny? The next Tale is yours to tell! There is, of course, a winner in Tales of the Arabian Nights, but the point of the game is less to see who wins and more to enjoy the unfolding and telling of a great story!

In this new edition of the groundbreaking storytelling game, you enter the lands of the Arabian Nights alongside Sindbad, Ali Baba, and the other legendary heroes of the tales. Travel the world encountering imprisoned princesses, powerful 'efreets, evil viziers, and such marvels as the Magnetic Mountain and the fabled Elephant's Graveyard.

Choose your actions carefully and the skills you possess will reward you: become beloved, wealthy, mighty - even become sultan of a great land. Choose foolishly, however, and become a beggar, or be cursed with a beast's form or become insane from terror! YOU will bring to life the stories of the inestimable Book of Tales in this vastly replayable board game with over 2002 tales that will challenge, amuse, astound and spellbind you for years to come.

25 TotAN 2009 Minor Errata Sticker Sheet
This is my attempt to come up with a sticker sheet for myself for the minor errata for the 2009 edition of Tales of the Arabian Nights as described in: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/435656 The intent is to print this onto Avery removable full sheet label paper. Then you can safely cut it out and put it on the map, the Book of Tales, and the Reaction Matrix. Some of these are so minor that you may not want to use the whole image. Most people will only want the map fix. (I may only use the map fix myself. I have not decided, so this may be more than you need.) The image is 200 dpi, 9.56 in high by 8 inch wide. That should give proper sizing. Do not scale it. Let me know if I did not do it right.

3 Tuckboxes to use with Yu-Gi-Oh! sized card sleeves v.1.0
Did you think to put your cards in Yu-Gi-Oh! card sleeves? And then what? Where do you put them now? There's no place inside box except for this tuckboxes that fit jut inside the box, keeping the original insert, while the cards are well protected inside those sleeves. Just print this PDF and cut along the edges and use double sided tape (I worked this to be the best method but YMMV) to put it all together.

17 Status Card Summary
A four-page summary of all of the text from the Status Cards. I know that four-pages is a bit lengthy, but the text is transcribed nearly word-for-word from the cards. This summary is very useful for people who want to cruise the different effects without the hassle of flipping through the deck.

23 Tales of Arabian Nights Play Mat V1
This is a replacement play mat. In addition to the information included on the normal play mat, it now includes a place to record victory goals, skill levels, and statuses. It's meant to be printed in landscape mode on standard letter sized paper. The idea is to laminate it when printed and use wet-erase markers, however it will work fine if used with a pencil so recorded items can be erased so the sheet can be reused. The Destiny & Story tracks are designed to use the included D/S counters -- just flip them over so the number side is down. Use one counter to track 1 - 9 then add a second counter to mark the 10s place. The players sex token is designed to fit over the recorded Victory Goals as well. In the future I plan to squeeze in a Wealth track if possible and include a...
