ETA: Nov 2022

This is a tile-laying race game with players starting with boards that are identical, and one player drawing tiles that they all will use. They race to get their explorers to temples first and earn points. Along the way they can collect additional points by collecting items off the paths they create.

Description from the English Ruleset:

Many moons have come and gone since your boats departed on the journey to Karuba. Once you arrive on the island, each player will lead an expedition team of four adventurers. Now you just have to navigate your way through the dense jungle to make it to the temples. „Just“ may be something of an understatement; the ancient jungle trails have to be found and uncovered first! Hurry up and be the first to reach the temples to collect the most valuable treasures. Many paths have dead ends and you need to be patient to find the right/best way (through the jungle). Look! A gold nugget! You can pick it up and collect it, same applies to the shiny crystals along the paths.

Bingo in the jungle

This game is very easy to teach and is quick to play. A fun tile placement game where one player reveals a numbered tile and all other players place the same numbered tile on their personal board. Simultaneous action selection and yet the paths people build and choices people make are unique every game. It's a great filler game or a for people who are new to modern board games.

Easy to learn and lots of replay-ability

Family favourite for sure! Love that it is easy to teach and to learn. Fun for new gamers and still intriguing for veteran gamers. Every game is different!

A Flip and Write in a Tile-Laying Game's clothin

I don't mean the title as a negative, this game is always fun when we play it. It has tough choices and seeing what everyone else did with those same choices often leads to those "oh I shoulda done that" moments. Great little welcoming game.

Must have for family game night!

So quick to learn, to setup and to play! Fast bingo style gameplay makes concurrent tile placement the best way to avoid downtime for younger kids. Just great mechanisms, amazing game!
