Feel the excitement with the Zathura brothers as they hurtle off into outer space after discovering a strange board game. Adapted from the number one best-selling book by Chris Van Allsburg, Zathura brings to life the thrilling story of adventure in an exciting, interactive board game.
When the players flip the game key, they draw cards that make unexpected events occur, and pesky robots trying to stop them from moving forward. The game does not allow the tension to subside, with every round bringing new challenges and surprises. The further you go in the game, the clearer the house puzzle is, and the nearer you are to fulfilling the ultimate goal: reaching planet Zathura.
As the adventurous spirit of Jumanji, Zathura is a crazy, exciting adventure with twists and turns. It's the complete family fun game, filled with mystery, strategy, and surprise encounters. Bring your family along on this heart-stopping ride together—Zathura will keep them on the edge of their seat!

Not very detailed instructions to play! My son and I and his friend got it all set up to play and ended up putting it away cuz it didn't thoroughly explain. Please come up with better instructions. One thing we have questions about is how to "defend" when it says on the card. Please respond quickly so we can play this game.
