The board game as currently conceived will be expandable with new scenarios (so others can contribute and play their own "continuing adventures of Sinbad"), but the initial release of the game will contain six scenarios, based on the movie:
1. Basra (Start) 2. Skull Island (rock monster) 3. Amazon Island (amazon queen) 4. Isle of the Dead Part 1 (ghost king) 5. Isle of the Dead Part 2 (slime monster) 6. Basra (Finale)
Most of these are only partly developed. The most complete one so far is the first Basra scenario, which I'll post below as an example of how a scenario might be structured.
Each Event and Challenge in the scenario outline below is followed by a shorthand version of the game effects, in the case of Events, or the different paths Sinbad may take to overcome the Challenge (ie, the various sequences of resource cards he can play). A fully developed scenario would provide flavor text with each step in these paths, to indicate what exactly Sinbad is doing in-game when the player plays a card. This is where some of the game's humor is invested.
*** BASRA (Start) ***
