Quantum plays somewhat like risk, where you advance units to positions to capture objectives. The catch is that your units are dice- higher numbers can move further, but lower numbers are better in combat, and each has a special ability.
The game revolves around placing "Quantum Cubes", which your units build on planets. Each planet has a number and an amount of slots for quantum cubes to be placed, and to build a cube your units (which are literally dice) must add up the the number on the planet they are on.
Building quantum cubes allows you to select an "advancement card", which contain either permanent upgrades to your turns and abilities, or one-time powerful bonuses. All advancement cards feel meaningful and powerful, and which ones you select determine a lot of how your game will play out. You can "build" for combat, research, mobility, and even some weird other things like being able to change one of your dice once per turn either up one number or down one (and thus changing its abilities).
The game board is configurable tiles, so the "map" can be different each time, and support a faster or slower game, or more or less players (the game only comes with pieces for 4 players, but if you had the dice it wouldn't be hard to play extra with improvised pieces).
The game pacing is really well done; if all players know what they're doing, the race to place the final cube can be intense and exciting, as each player will end up with different strengths as they implement unique strategies to win.
We love quantum and have had a blast every time we've played it- we're expecting it to become a family favorite and for our copy to end up very well loved.

Sarah (7798 KP) rated Jumanji: The Game in Tabletop Games

This game looks great, but it's the gameplay that lets this down massively. There are some nods to the original film but the problem is that the gameplay is just far too simple. Only younger children could really get a kick out of this for long. It's just a basic game involving rolling dice and after playing 2 rather short games, we called it a day and quite frankly, wouldn't miss playing it again. I appreciate you can't make a board game exactly like the game in the film, but they really could've tried to make something a little more exciting and interesting. Definitely not one I'd advise paying full price for!
Purple Phoenix Games (2266 KP) rated Koala Capers in Tabletop Games
Jun 18, 2019 (Updated Mar 10, 2020)
Koala Capers is a silly dice and pattern recognition game that kids way younger than 3 years old can play; I have played it with my 2 year old – for like 5 minutes.
The game comes in a non-conforming, but fun, box that we used as a dice tray. You roll the dice, try to find an outfit card that matches what you rolled and place the new outfit on your koala card (the one shown below is currently naked). If you roll underpants, you make your koala naked and try again. If you roll a star it’s wild and you can choose any outfit you like.
This is an easy winner. It has very few components, very few rules, and has lots of silliness in it – especially when you roll the undies. Kids love when adults lose. My boy really likes it, and it has been his first choice from his small collection lately.
Give it a try if you want to introduce your children or family into dice rolling, customizing characters, light set collection, learning patterns, and also possibly having to reconstruct after rolling poorly. We like it a lot, for what it is.
