Jamaica Family Game

I bought this on the recommendation of a coworker who runs a board games meetup group. He told me it was his “go to” game for new players but that it was almost always in the rotation even for seasoned players. After playing it with my family over the Thanksgiving holiday, I can definitely see why! Our group of 6, ages 26 to 56, had a great time playing it and they wanted to play it again multiple times over the 4 days instead of moving to a different game. The game is fairly easy to learn, each turn has players selecting their card at the same time and then the turns are short and often impact other players. This means less time sitting around and waiting for other players or being bored until it is your turn again. Combat between players is frequent and low stakes enough to be fun and not strongly avoided. Because of the amount of luck (via dice rolls and drawing cards), the game is well balanced. So a player who looks to be trailing for most of the game can suddenly come from behind and be in contention to win. It also means that new players have just as much chance of winning as board games regulars. There is just enough strategy to keep the experienced players interested without giving them a major advantage. It is also rather difficult to find good board games that support up to 6 players (most cap out at 5), making this a great option for when you might have 3 couples playing together, etc. Jamaica is now going to be my “go to” game for introducing new players to board gaming or when there is a mixed experience level in the group. Highly recommend.

We are supposed to have 6 characters colours ; and we got only 3 😭, have no idea how to return the game

Das Spiel macht richtig Spaß. Das Zubehör und alles drumherum sind in hochwertiger Qualität. In dem Spiel hat bis zum Ende,jeder noch eine Chance zu gewinnen. Spannung bis zum Schluss.

Would recommend to any competetive family
