The dwarves hide in the shadows of the trees from the wandering light in this magical board game. The burning tea-light moves through the dark forest and tries to find the small dwarves in their hiding places. If the light of the candle shines on a dwarf he is not allowed to move. The other dwarves try to release him. To achieve this they must wait until the light has gone far enough so that one of them can join him in the shadow. All the dwarves try to unite under one tree, while the candle tries to cast a spell on the dwarves. The game continues until all dwarves are happily united under the shadow of one tree or until the light has cast a spell on all the dwarves.Reverse side of the board: This is a second game which can be played. The dwarves try to avoid the Shadow in the Woods and jump over the fire. The light remains stationary in one place. The dwarves must move through the shadows and jump over the light. A dwarf which has to stop in the shadow must wait until another player helps him by flashing him a ray of light. The game ends when all the dwarves have made it home safe and sound. A cooperative game for children over the age of 5 (main game) or 7 (second game).
