Treasure hunt

I suppose all of us like - deep down - to hunt for a treasure? I gladly recall the times when I was a kid and we were having our holidays at the Belgian coast. One of my favorite passtimes then was to go digging for coins which fell out of pockets of unsuspecting 'victims'. Some day, you could collect enough coins to buy a bag of sweets or an icecream!

Now someone's cashing in on that sentiment. Born in Liege, Vincenzo Bianca, always dreamed of treasure hunting. At long last, he developed a board game named Guardian of Legends. It consists of 24 islands and each player has to find the treasures of other players on these islands. They get hints, but they can also go looking for real. Somewhere in the world, a real treasure is buried: a golden egg (worth 219,000 Euro) that is a creation of two jewellers in Liege. The one who finds it, can sell it or keep it - and all travel costs are compensated as well.

The game became available in April past and is available in 10 languages. Thousands of copies have already been sold and people from all over the world are looking for the treasure.

Vincenzo Bianca assumes it might take a long as three years before someone actually finds the treasure.
