So last night my husband and I got together with some friends and played this board game

It's like a Choose Your Own Adventure book (any one remember those?) You are a character from the Arabian Nights stories, You move around the board and have random encounters and your actions and die rolls determine the outcome.
One of your character choices is Aladdin!
I wanted to play him but my husband picked Scheherazade for me because he thought I'd want to play a girl Rolling Eyes

Jokes on him though cause I won!

Choose foolishly, however, and become a beggar, or be cursed with a beast's form or become insane from terror.

Yet Aladdin is one of the characters you can play? Laughing

Yeah, you start out as moderately wealthy and it goes up and down.
I went from being a friend of a jinn to a slave of one to blessed by a prophet in a span of two turns.
