Overview

What ABG knows about this game

DOCTOR KEY-BIT is proof that even the best magic is nothing compared to good intuition. Doctor Key-Bit, the famous doctor of alchemy, comes home from his meeting of magical doctors and finds out that he has locked the doors to his enchanted castle by magic spell. But now he has forgotten the magic spell to reopen them. Players try to move Doctor Key-Bit on the game board from one room to another. They’ll need good intuition, because they search through their bags – which are filled with different keys – for a key that fits. Each player moves Doctor Key-Bit to one of four different elixir bottles that are located in the rooms on the game board. Since each player looks for different elixirs, you’ll need a perfect sense of touch to be successful. The first to move Doctor Key-Bit to four elixirs wins the game and helps the magician to prepare his potion for opening the doors. DOCTOR KEY-BIT trains the intuition, helps you become quick on the uptake, and teaches you to recognize extraordinary shapes.
