Can we play it again?!
The first time I played this with my wife she immediately said "Can we play it again?!" This is quite a rare occurance, so that says something. It is very easy to learn, and quick to play. (About 15 minutes per player) I love the mechanic of using the resources in certain shapes to create the buildings for your town. The limits of the board help to make it a fun game as you try to build the best town with the resources that are given to you without painting yourself into a corner. The multiple types of each building, besides the cottage, help with replayability and keep the game interesting without making it overly complicated. The cards for each building make it easy to understand what they do, and what resources in what configuration are needed to build it. The wooden building meeples (Beeples? Muildings?) are very nice, and their colored silhouettes on each building card make it unmistakable what each is every time you play. I have played both the solo game, and the game with 2 and 3 players. I have found it to be a good game at all of these player counts. The wooden master builder hammer makes it easy to see whose turn it is to call resources, and keeps the game moving quickly. There is good natured interaction between players, and even when resources that you don't want are called, it doesn't feel like an attack, but part of the fun in figuring out the puzzle that is Tiny Towns. The solo version works well by using cards with the resources on them; first 3 are drawn, one is chosen and returned to the bottom of the draw pile, the ones you don't use are left behind for subsequent turns. This works well at imitating other players calling resources that you don't want or need. It's a good game with high quality components and interesting mechanisms, with enough player interaction to make it fun, and enough variability to keep it fun. ... show more

Family night favorite
A favorite! Simple to learn, teaches you to strategize as you plan ahead to build your town. Colorful pieces, and each game is a little different based on the cards you draw and the amount of people. We love it for our family game nights.

Great family game, easy to learn
Great family game. We were able to play with kids as young as 9. The style of play works well for bigger groups, everyone always has something to do. Straightforward and lots of variation as you introduce more complex cards into play. This will be our rotation.

Great game that requires thinking and strategy
Great strategic game with lots of replay-ability. Fun for a good gaming group, probably not ideal for casual gamers that like simple games like monopoly or sorry.

Easy to learn game with tons of strategy
We have only had this one a couple of days and I can already tell that it's going to hit our table pretty often. We typically enjoy the more "euro" style games where each player is focused on their own board, so this one fits that bill. We also enjoy puzzles, and this one is definitely a good puzzle. The box says it is intended for age 14+. However, my 7 and 8 year olds were watching my wife and I play last night and asked if they could play too. We said yes and they kept up pretty well! So I think that shows how easy to teach the game is. We did take out the monument aspect of the game when we played with them and they didn't really care about points. But in the end, they had pretty nice looking final boards and had a good time. It seems this one will have a lot of replay value. There are a lot of options for each building type, the monuments add more flavor, and even the different options on how to choose resources (players calling out vs using cards) can change the feel of the game. The solo variant is a very nice addition as well. I think this is good to show someone who likes board games but doesn't really know much about modern/designer games. It's a step above most big-box games. I do ding it one star because I do feel like the cost is a little high for what is in the box. I know there are a lot of wooden components, but still it seems it's priced about $10 too high at $40 MSRP. If you can get it for $30 or less, I think that's a better value. But don't let that dissuade you too much. It's a great game and very justifiable at $40. ... show more

Simple, yet surprisingly layered
This is surprisingly simple, yet deep game. it's easy to get into but has layers to to it that even most strategy minded will appreciate. I recommend picking up the expansion along with it.

Great Game
I was skeptical about purchasing this game and it sat in my save for later list for months and ultimately decided not to buy it. Oddly enough about a week or two after I removed it, a friend brought the game over and it turned out that I really really liked it. So as the story goes, I changed my mind and bought it some time after. This is really a fun game that's challenging and makes you think and plan. I recommend it to anyone who likes a board game with a good balance of complexity, simplicity, ease, and challenge with a medium learning curve. ... show more

Great little game
This game is super fun and super easy to play. The more you play the more you learn how to build a better town for the end game. My husband and I can play a game for about 30 minutes or less which is great for a two player setting. And having only two players doesn't affect the game play so we love it even more! ... show more
