Everyone that has played it frequently has said that the time is reduced drastically, and you should be at 2hrs with 4 players. Makes sense because of the two track system. The more efficient you get (the more you know the game), the faster then end comes.

I just got into board games and I’m lucky I’ve found you two! Thanks for showing me the ropes and being so engaging and humorous. Your friend from Australia 🇦🇺

Hahaha "it depends on which monkey, some monkeys might" - I love how honestly you answered that

[steveevans]

Love that youre to the point and not padding things out. Great to have 2 perspectives. Good work.

This review was made for me. You all do the best reviews on YouTube and I absolutely loved this one. I’m INCREDIBLY interested in this game, and that’s come a long way from when I first saw it. However, I definitely understand Janis G. I have 3 children- 4 years old and under. Full time job. No real game group. YouTube channel. Etc.

As amazing as this game looks, if each game takes near 3 hours I certainly don’t expect to table it often at all.

Despite that- still one I really want to snag once it becomes available stateside. And again, amazing review as always. 💜

I enjoy the chemistry between the both of you. Very entertaining and a perfect mix of being funny (without going overboard) and information. If you’ve played Dinosaur World, which do you think is better? They are both park builder-type games and I’m curious to read your thoughts, if you can.

This game is great. So glad I bought it right away and without hesitation. I was never a fan of photos on cards, but it actually works for this one. It’s not the most beautiful game. But it’s one of the most fun I had in a euro in a while. Apart from Viticulture, this is the second euro game that’s actually thematic.

The only thing I hate is shuffling all these cards, especially when I sleeved them all. I suggest sleeving it to prolong the life of your cards. Also, it’s a bit hard grabbing the cards off the board. Wish they made the board a playmat to make it easier.

Good review ! Hoping this game comes to South-Africa

[irumaru]

Great channel and interesting review format! Have you considered doing any content in Latvian? :)

[hamzad]

Pass for me. Nice review. Like the 3 points, when done 1 at the time. 👍

I think the time to complete this game would put me off because we would play this as a family with two boys 7 and 10 years old. We have dinosaur island and its a struggle to keep them interested past 1.5 hours

[VikingKittens]

Still on the fence with this one but excellent review. I ended up getting Bitoku, so for awhile I will learn that and then see if I can find a copy of this. Cheers!!!

Believe the hype, this game is ridiculously good. May even be better than TM, and thats my favourite game.

The thing about this game is, you need to play to the cards that you are "dealt", not to what you necessarily want to do.

[mirkosrndovic]

Length - three of us played it two times (only, so far) and both times it took 5h to complete (not much down time, ok, but it was long for us).
I feel that "Reptiles" analogy - the same happened when I wanted animals with water icon - I needed them so much, but opponent got them all :D (must adapt definitely!)
And yes, I want to play it moooore!
Hahaha Hares Expedition, nice one!!!
