Welcome to Purple Pawn, covering games played around the world by billions of people every day.
AEG is delivering The Adventurers: The Temple of Chac, a light family game with an Indiana Jones style theme. The game even has players trying to escape a rolling boulder, dart between crushing walls, and maneuver across a collapsing bridge, all while competing to grab the greatest value in archaeological treasures. Players can choose from among 12 characters with which to explore the temple. The game provides a unique plastic figure for each one, as well as 3D pieces for each of the traps.
