I’m so happy you’ve allowed this game to be played again. When I was in my 20’s my parents would get an Apple from work to bring home. We played this game for weeks staying up until our eyes were closing lol. Found 12 treasures but didn’t have clues just the game. I’ve wanted to find that thirteenth treasure for over 40 years. Once I do I’ll try another game.
Thanks again
