I dont get what I need to do with the cobra card. The card says “walk around the snake pit AND defeat the snake”, but nowhere in the instructions it tells you HOW to defeat the snake. I cant be really as simple as “walk around the snake pit”, right? Can you explain it to me please? 💗

One question, for anyone familiar with the rules of this game..... please tell me.. the treasure cards; are you supposed show everybody what treasures you gain, or are they supposed to remain secret to anyone but the one who gets it? I ask only because the rulebook doesn't state anything in particular about that.

Have just watch the video of this fab game. Wow! I remember I used to play it to death all the time when I was a kid, it was just awesome as I recall. For a first adventure game it was unbeatable. Long may it sell. Agree with comments it should be re-released so my kids can play it too.

Why do we have to buy second hand examples of Key to the Kingdom at ridiculous high prices! Surely there's a games company out there willing to bring it back, it would sell by the shed load; come on someone, lets see it back in production, it's the best adventure game ever!!

Possibly the coolest game ever invented. It may be an oldie but it's a true classic. Still got mine from the 90's and still we play it. Someone should make a computer version. Avoid the Voodoo Spectre!
