Neopets: Adventures in Neopia is a board game released in 2003 for 2–4 players, 30 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Craig Van Ness and Carrie Clayburn and its main mechanics are Hand Management, Roll / Spin and Move, and Events.
A board game based on the Internet / electronic toy craze. After assembling the 'Wheel of Excitement", arrow launcher and Buried Treasure Box, and labelling the dice, buried treasure tokens are placed in the Buried Treasure Box and coins in the coin box. Players shuffle ticket cards and deal 5 to each player. 'Fruit machine' and Random Event Cards are placed beside the board. Parts for Mini-Action games are placed beside the box. Gameplay: 1. Roll and move; 2. Play one or more cards; and 3. Replenish ticket cards. Spaces on the board result in a player doing nothing, drawing a Random Event Card, playing a mini-action game if he has a matching Ticket card, or collecting NeoPoints coins. Matching Ticket Cards allow players to play a mini-game, and Random Event Cards can be played when drawn - and are marked now/once/permanent. There are more detailed rules for all of these actions. The winner of the game is the player who gains 5,000 NeoPoints points - or 4,000 points for a shorter game.

The catalogue lists Neopets: Adventures in Neopia for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.
