Im Reich der Jadegöttin is a board game released in 2007 for 2–4 players, 60 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Klaus Teuber and its main mechanics are Set Collection, Tile Placement, and Modular Board.
The first game in the new trilogy based upon Teuber's classic exploration game Entdecker. In the Realm of the Jade Goddess leads the players into the jungle in search for rare artifacts like the Jade statue of the title. The system of placing tiles is similar to the original game, but players are driving around in Jeeps instead of sailing. The 18 artifacts (each consisting of 4 parts) that needs to be discovered adds a new twist to the game. Two other two games in the trilogy have been announced for publication in 2008: Im Reich der Wüstensöhne (In the Realm of the Desert Sons) Im Reich der Dämonen (In the Realm of the Demons)
Im Reich der Jadegöttin supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Im Reich der Jadegöttin is 60 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Im Reich der Jadegöttin for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Im Reich der Jadegöttin has a complexity rating of 2.1 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game.
