Downton Abbey: The Board Game (2013)

Overview

The fast moving game that transports you in to the world of Downton Abbey. As a maid or footman, you have to complete the tasks you are given as quickly as possible. Starting in the Servants' Hall, each player is dealt Destination cards which have varying values indicated by the number of bells on the card. This relates to how important or difficult the task is. The players must then navigate their way around the corridors and stairs of the Abbey, throwing the dice to determine how many moves they can make.

Once they reach the destination of a task, they collect their bell tokens, and the next player throws the dice to set off for the next job. But nothing is that simple! Along the way, a player can land on a 'Carson Card' space and have to take a card, which could either help or hinder them. On other spaces, the player may have to collect a 'Letter' which could call them away from the Abbey, slowing them down or costing them bells! And which route will they take? A short easy looking one to get a job done earning only one bell, or a longer route with the possibility of collecting a higher reward?

The winner is the player who has completed all their jobs and collected the most bells.
