    • High quality fun game.

    • Excellent product
Love this game. Good for all ages. Different every time. We usually play about 4 games at a session. Each takes about 35 minutes and when over, you want to play again. We first had to watch online videos to understand how to play, but then got it quickly. Each person has their own board and needs to visualize and place pathways to reach the four temples picking up gold or crystals along the way. For 2-4 players, but if you bought 2 games you could play up to 8 players. ... show more

    • Addictive and Fun!
Oh boy, this game has grabbed my husband and me and won't let go. 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. ... show more

    • Great Haba Tile Laying Family Game.With a Twist.
Terrific family-oriented puzzle game about racing your opponents to exploring a jungle island, grab loot and plunder the temples first. It's a tile-laying game like carcassone, but with a clever twist. Each player is given a player board that represents an empty map of the island. Then, the map (placement of temples, explorers) is created by placing the Temples at one edge of the board and then the explorers at the opposite end of the board. Each player's board is identical. The point of the game is to lay tiles, with jungle paths on them, that will allow your explorers (meeples) to reach the temples before your opponents! The temples and explorers are color coded: only a yellow explorer can loot a yellow temple; only the blue explorer can loot the blue temple, etc. Each temple has a set of treasures in it equal to the number of players. However, the values of the treasures DECREASE in value. The first explorer to reach his temple of color gets the most valuable treasure (and ends his movement there for the rest of the game); the second explorer get's the second most valuable treasure, and so forth. Treasure value equals VPs. But then the twist comes in. Each player has a stack of tiles numbered 1-36. The tiles are laid out in order in front of all but one of the players. Each tile depicts a jungle space with paths and/or loot on it. However, one player, the "Expedition Leader" doesn't sort his tiles. Instead, the leader RANDOMLY mix his tile stack. At the start of every round, the Expedition leader will pull the top tile from his randomly mixed stack and call out the TILE NUBMER. Then ALL players will take that tile and play it. There are 2 main ways to play a tile. First, you can lay it on your map, hoping to build a trail (using a succession of tiles) that your explorers can follow to fortune and glory. Secondly, you can discard it (permanently removing it from the game!) and MOVE your explorers! Yes, you must spend one of your 36 precious tiles to move your explorers! So, Karuba is a game about speed and efficiency. How do you use the fewest tiles to create a path (or paths) to get your explorers to their temples? Timing is important too. Do I toss this tile now, and move my explorers to get a jump on my opponents and get ever closer to the most valuable the treasure first? IBut if you toss the tile, you may find out that you really needed tile a turn or two later!! Great fun. ... show more

    • Great game
Bought this after playing at a parks department game night. We have a very logical-thinking 6-year-old who loves games and has learned Catan, chess, and Carcasonne. This game, while it is random, really makes you think about how to place your randomly-drawn tiles to get to the temple/treasure first. Rules are very simple., and the game only takes about 20 minutes. With 3 players, it's interesting to see that we may start out placing the first 3 tiles in the same location, but after that, it has been totally different. We are testing strategies of building one road first to score the top points on reaching the temple first, but then dealing with an inefficient road system to get to others vs. slow and smart but maybe not getting all the top points. It also depends on the other players' strategies, as you want to get to the temple first to score the most points. Even thoguh you are not directly interacting your players on the same board as others, that is what makes this interesting since there are essentially no defensive moves, only offensive. Then, the question is always, do you use the tile to move before the road is complete, or do you complete the roads and then move? it's up to you. ... show more

    • 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.
