About the game
Numeracy Legends and The Rainbow Unicorn is a resource allocation and route arrangement game. Originating from the math puzzle Seven Bridges of Königsberg, this game creates a challenge of observation and abstract thinking, where players are required to plan the most efficient route to win. Three brief steps of the rules: Step 1. Set up the map with food ingredients and transportation, then choose any food spot as a starting point. The goal is to be the first to collect enough ingredients to make a cupcake. Step 2. Players can either move along the roads by paying transportation, or stay and supply more transportation. Step 3. Reach the magic circle after successfully collecting enough numbers of ingredients. Note that a same type of ingredient cannot be collected twice. -- Other games from Numeracy Legends Trilogy: Numeracy Legends and The Zerda Fox https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/224749/numeracy-legends-and-zerda-fox Numeracy Legends and The Gluttony Dragon https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/224750/numeracy-legends-and-gluttony-dragon
