The product description says it's addictive and it IS. We're in our 60's and were looking for something new, fun, and different from our usual Parcheesi, Sorry, Scrabble, and Challenge Rummy routine. We got this in hopes it would create challenges, new ways of thinking, fun, a short play time, and be a game that isn't mostly chance (like so many card games) but instead requires pre-planning, spatial awareness, etc. This does that. We really love it. First of all, the board and all pieces are gorgeously painted and produced. Pieces are sturdy, and that's important and necessary because the playing boards and tiles are cardboard. The pawns are either wood or sturdy plastic, I don't know which, and the gems which you collect on your journey through the jungle are plastic. Either way,it's all built to last. Layout is simple. The directions, however, were a bit complicated for us, but that's probably because we're old. Easily solved though. We just went to You Tube where there are quite a few videos on how to play the game, and that saved us. Play time is about 20-25 minutes as each player moves his adventurer to the same-colored temple across the board. You're laying out tiles with every turn that will hopefully get you there, but you have to watch out for intersecting paths leading to the other temples. Anyway, it's a fun game, absolutely deserving of its Game of the Year award, and probably would be easily understood by children as well as adults. Review: Great game, recommend. - This is a very fun game. Ill usually do a quick practice round with new players since it has a few different game pieces to understand. But after you get the hang of it, its very easy and fun! There are some short Youtube videos that help out as well. Everyone I've showed this to loves to play. ## Features - ADDICTIVE ADVENTURE: Dive into exciting tile-based strategy games for 2-4 treasure hunters aged 8-99.

See, copying everyone else is saying you think they placed the tile 100% efficiently. Everyone thinks differently so everyone will make slightly different choices. Then, once you have a few tiles that are different the whole way you play the tiles will vary greatly from other players. Plus you have to trash a tile to move and people will trash tiles others will use. Someone would have to be a straight up jerk to just copy others plays. : **Q: Did you get the English version? They sent me the German version.** A: Yes...I received the English version. It has a multi-language rule book. **Q: What determines which tile gets placed? 1-36... roll a d36? Take turns choosing?** A: all players except the lead player (who remains the lead through out the game), organizes their tiles face up so they can see the numbers. The lead player has their tiles face down and mixed. The lead player will choose a tile and call out the number. All played take the tile with that number and places it on their board following basic placement rules. Enjoy ! Boardgamegeek (BGG) site a great resource for all games (board, card, dice, etc) - i have no financial benefit from this site, this an unsolicited plug. **Q: Can two people play this enjoyably?** A: Yes very much so. Since each board is independent and how you build your paths is all in how you want to try to get your explorers to the temples it scales well with two people. In fact the first time I played it was at a friends house with two people. Soon as I played it I came homeAnd ordered it on amazon. Teaches easy for new people and plays in 45ish minutes. My wife and I will play some times when the kids are in school. It is easily one of our favorites. Hope that helps ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Addictive and Fun! *by G***1 on January 27, 2018* Oh boy, this game has grabbed my husband and me and won't let go.
