Great Family Fun Game
A brilliant strategy game suitable for people of all ages and abilities. Have played with many people, family and friends with many going on to purchase the game themselves. Easy to set up and the aim of the game is straightforward. A well built game with a sturdy board and strong solid tiles, a game that will survive even the most reckless and be enjoyed for many years.

A great begginer game
This worker replacement game is a very good games to start with for anyone who has never played tabletop games before. The strategy for this game is minimal, it is always good to have some kind of strategy, however other players moves may change your strategy for you in this game, but its effects are not very harsh. There is always another option in this game especially the further into the game you get as more placements will be available. However worker placement is the main mechanic in this game set collection is also a mechanic which is really important in this game. Collecting your pieces are almost just as important as placing your workers. Even though it is generally considered a beginner's introductory game I find this game to be a great go to for myself even though I am beyond beginner level. This is a great game for beginner intermediate to expert and family all different groups enjoy this game.

Race time and a booby-trapped island to find lost treasures!
I bought this game as an intro to strategy tabletop gaming for my kids. Our first game was a win, but the second ended in tears as the island defeated us.
It didn't stop us though. We still play it and have learned how to apply strategies to help each character meet objectives quickly.
We are considering other games in the franchise, but now the kids are hooked on gaming and we're trying new types.
Well worth the money for adventure and strategy for even seasoned players. The scaled difficulty and multiple characters make strategy and replay a must. The more people playing, the more the game seems to adapt.
Maybe not the best intro to new gamers, but it worked for us!

A great two player head to head battle kind of game, there is some luck but a lot of strategy.
A great portable game version of the modern classic 7 Wonders designed specifically for 2 players.

I really enjoyed playing this game, the mechanics were good and I enjoyed the strategy elements. The repetitiveness of the progression and lack of good story made it hard for me to keep coming back, but when I do pick it up I enjoy it.

Play cards to try to create 5 in a row on the grid. It's mostly about drawing the right cards. There can be a little strategy in deciding where to play your cards based on the other cards in your hand.

Best board game I've played in quite a while, definitely a blast if you play with the same friend every so often, but if you play, don't plan to do anything for the entire day

Becomes a hoarding game (0 more)
First few times was very fun. Once you learn the strategy it becomes a hoarding game to combo at the end.

Must have 4 or more players to make it really fun and still can get old quickly.
