About
Lead your four adventures across the jungle map to the temples and treasures that await. Lay out the tiles that make your jungle map so that you reach your goals before the other players.
It's a competitive tile laying game where the initial map setup and the order of the tiles played is identical for all players. The twist is that every person has total control over where they place the tiles on their particular map.
You will be your own worst enemy as you mess up and block off the path for that one adventurer you need to win the game.

4/5 Very Good
How do you make a game where everyone not only has the same starting conditions, but they get the same tiles to place every turn? Cleverly it seems. It's both a game of "perfect information" as everyone can see what everyone else is doing but adds some randomness in not know what pieces will get pulled next. After a few plays the real thing we learned is that when you lose, it's mostly likely because you screwed yourself when you thought you were being clever.

4/5
A fun competitive path laying game with a few different ways to win. I found it fun and would play again with others. While strategy is rather low, it is enough that it doesn't feel like a completely luck based game.
