There is a book that no one has ever been able to read. For centuries, scholars have puzzled over the mysterious Voynich manuscript, full of strange plants, unknown symbols and hidden meaning. In The Voynich Puzzle you take on the role of such a researcher. You leaf through your own book, pick a double page and get to work in one of five fields of study. Bit by bit you put the coded pieces of this riddle in place. The more knowledge you gather, the more of the text you begin to understand. That in turn opens up new options and new ways to score points. You study botany, astronomy, baths, script and recipes, and each path reveals a different part of the hidden wisdom. Together you push the research forward, but in the end only one of you can be the true master of the manuscript. With its beautiful illustrations and immersive feel, you sense the atmosphere of forgotten knowledge and ancient secrets. You play the game with one to four researchers, or completely on your own. Expect about two hours in which logic, intuition and imagination come together. Can you unravel the secrets before your opponents beat you to it?
