Iello is offering a pre-release option for brick and mortar stores for the upcoming Aladdin & the Magic Lamp, scheduled for September.

Aladdin & the Magic Lamp will be the seventh title in Iello’s Tales & Games line of family games.  These games are inspired by classic children’s stories, and are packaged in custom boxes designed to look like storybooks. 

In the new title, the players are street urchins like the famous Aladdin, sent by an evil sorcerer to locate the genie’s lamp in a cave of forbidden treasures.  Using simultaneous play, this push-your-luck style game challenges players to collect as much wealth as they can before calling on the genie to escape the cave.

The new game is designed for 2 to 5 players, ages 8 and up, and plays in less than 20 minutes.  It includes 5 treasure boards, 5 dice, 111 cards, and 1 Magic Ring token.  MSRP is $24.99.

Brick and mortar stores that pre-order Aladdin & the Magic Lamp will be shipped in time to release the game on September 15, two weeks before the game will be available online (September 29).

The last Tales & Games title, The Pied Piper, was released in March (see “‘Happy Pigs,’ ‘Tem-purr-a,’ ‘The Pied Piper’”).
