Easy to Teach
Fun Polynesian theme
Carcassone level of simplicity with good depth and a Polynesian theme
I teach this to "non-gamers" all the time and we even take it with us on vacation. The game is simple, there is a 4 by 4 grid of tiles to choose from, and you move a little boat around the board one or two spaces and take one of those tiles. you have some shells you can use to move the boat further or inside to the middle tiles. you can also get more boats to move further. You also have a player mat in which to place the newly acquired tiles, but one you place them you can't move them. Each tile has different values based on what you have around it, you try to create islands, and huts double the scoring trees. This is just the Gist, there is more to it, and there is event a backside to the board for extra challenge. we like this one a lot for those nights when a heavy game doesn't appeal to us, or we are sitting no the deck with a glass of wine, unwinding. we want to play and have fun without thinking too hard. Thee is a fun trying to place yourself just right so that someone else can't reach on the next turn, but then you will. I highly recommend this one.

Twenty years after the events of the first film, the infamous board game has evolved into a video game and while cleaning out a school's basement serving detention, four teenagers find it and get sucked into the same jungle setting that Alan Parrish got sucked into all those years ago. Having become their avatars inside the game the only way out is to play along and finish it.



You see Jumanji, and instantly you think "bleurgh, they're not remaking it are they?!"

Having missed the Unlimited Screening because of my work Christmas do, I dragged myself out of bed to see the preview the next morning... and oh my god was it worth the early start. Honestly, I would watch it again in a heartbeat. It is just good old fashioned fun.

I wasn't sure how they were going to turn the board game into a video game, but I really liked the way they did it. From there on I was completely sold on it. I love all four of the main actors, and watching them playing teenagers was so entertaining. Jack Black has to be my hero, diva to a T. Little upsetting to see Bobby Cannavale as the baddie though, that's one fantasy man out of the window, can't go dreaming about him after seeing creepy crawlies all over him.

This one will definitely be in my DVD collection when it comes out, and yes, I will be shouting "Jumanji" out at the end.
