I had a feeling you'd love this one once you got round to playing it! The cards really do dictate the fortunes of players, we played a game the other night and I drew THREE consecutive " explorer gets lost and falls in the swamp" absolutely ruined my entire game plan :D My dad swears he didn't tamper the deck... btw, the lava pieces don't just have to be placed on the red board spaces, we've played before where the lava has effectively made an impassable wall on that side so you're forced to go round the other way or test your luck in the swamp. That was BRUTAL. Half way through writing a review for this and with the UK being on total lockdown now...well I'm gonna have plenty of time to film for the next three weeks at the very least. Also recently acquired another Waddingtons game that in terms of production value I know you're going to love, need to play it yet but setting this new one up...wow. Hope all is well my friend
Great Review! Glad you were able to get a complete copy! Such a solid game! The only thing to mention though is if the pteranodon carries you and you have a coin then you must leave the coin there so it’s a way to screw peeps over and prevents him from being a completely insane card haha
Had this game as a youngster and loved it one of my favs....sadly it's long gone :( Just wish someone would do an updated version of this game...a true classic
yeah Julian-Courtland Smith designed them. you're diggin up (pun intended) some interesting old school 3D games. You and Norm should play his full Fireball Island with all of the expansions if you ever get together again for a game night.
