The Secret of the Way Madrid
Description
Game Difficulty 8 / 10
3 to 12 players
The diary of Guillermo Laguna, an apprentice builder in the mid-13th century, came into Mr Rombo's hands some time ago. In it, William recounts his experience on a journey he made in 1260 along the Camino de Santiago with the intention of studying the main buildings along the way. On his pilgrimage, William was accompanied by a Templar knight named Louis de Montes, who served as his guide and protector and with whom he formed a very good relationship. Towards the end of the journey, William and Louis were attacked by bandits. Louis, in his role as protector, confronted them and managed to defeat them, but was mortally wounded. Before dying, he confessed a secret to Guillermo: he told him that, if he wanted to know the true secret of the Camino, he should look for the original board of the game of Goose that was hidden in the most important inn on the Camino.
It seemed to Guillermo that his companion was delirious on his deathbed, but, out of respect for his friend's last words, he decided to investigate what was true in them. After months of gathering information, Guillermo discovered that the board of the Goose game was, in reality, a symbolic and encrypted guide to the Camino de Santiago and that each square of the board was associated with a stage of the pilgrimage. However, Guillermo was not clear what the Templar knight meant by ‘the most important inn’. Although he searched the most famous inns, William was unable to locate the board and eventually gave up his search when he entered the builders' school. Now, 750 years later, Mr. Rombo has received some clues that seem to indicate that the Horn Inn is the one to which the Knight Templar referred, but he suspects that there are other organisations, with less honest aims, that are also after the secret of the Way. Your mission as seekers of The Rombo Code is to head to the Inn of the Horn, find the Goose game board and decipher the secret of the Way in order to guard and protect it before it falls into the wrong hands.
