Most races involve horses or cards, but in Elfenland players control young elves, who must traverse their fantasy land with all sorts of strange transportation such as giant pigs and unicorns. Each player must visit every city on the map and seek to find the best route for the modes of transportation that they use, while attempting to hinder the others in this light, interactive game. Players place tokens on routes with restrictions because of terrain and then use cards to attempt to finish quicker than the other players. Winner of the 1998 Spiel des Jahres, Elfenland has been used for years as a top-rated family game.

I know it's a Spiel des Jahres, but giant pigs?
I've got this game, and we like it. I used to get quite a bit of game play in the past, and just got brought out about 2 weeks ago and everyone still had fun with it. I would say that in some areas it is similar to a "train" game where you much travel around a map, but the modes of travel and theme make this one different.
It's a solid game and used to be my wife's favorite before Pandemic came along.
I want it, especially for the booteeples.
Ah yes, it's Spanish for "The Fenland."
