Einfache Schatzkarten

Bronzehelm (11x): Der Bronzehelm bringt am Ende keine Siegpunkte, es sei denn, man besitzt ein oder mehrere Bronzeschmiede: Pro Bronzeschmied zählt jeder Helm dann 1 Siegpunkt.

Armreif (6x): Jeder Armreif bringt am Ende 1 Siegpunkt.

Kelch (5x): Jeder Kelch bringt am Ende 2 Siegpunkte.

Schatztruhe (2x): Jede Schatztruhe bringt am Ende 3 Siegpunkte.

Sonderschatzkarten

Tarnkappe (2x): Mit der Tarnkappe kann man einen seiner Gefährten unsichtbar machen. Dies kann zu jedem Zeitpunkt im Spiel geschehen. Dazu zieht man die Tarnkappe einfach mit der Maus auf den gewünschten Gefährten. Die Tarnkappe verbleibt dort bis zum Ende des Spiels (Ausnahme: War die Hexe getarnt und sie wird getauscht, geht die Tarnkappe aus dem Spiel). Dieser Gefährte ist nun für alle anderen unsichtbar, er zählt auch bei der Anzahl der Gefährten nicht mit. Am Spielende zählt sowohl der Gefährte als auch die Tarnkappe, ebenso zählt der Gefährte am Ende für die Prinzen-/Prinzessinenwertung.

Benutzt man die Tarnkappe erst, wenn man angegriffen wird, bleibt der Angriff bestehen, es darf lediglich der getarnte Gefährte nicht gewählt werden.

Zauberspiegel (2x): Mit dem Zauberspiegel kann man einen Angriff gegen sich auf den Angreifer zurücklenken. Der Angreifer muss sich dann quasi selbst angreifen. Der Zauberspiegel geht nach der Abwehr aus dem Spiel.

Sollte der Angreifer ebenfalls einen Zauberspiegel besitzen, wird der Angriff wieder auf das ursprüngliche Ziel zurückgelenkt.
