Ravensburger The Quest for El Dorado - Exciting Strategy Board Game | Suitable for Kids & Adults | Designed for 2-4 Players | Inclusive of Mini Expansion

This is a fun deck-building game I played with my kids (7-12), and they had no trouble understanding it. You have an adventurer you lead over several types of terrain with the goal of reaching El Dorado first, and your movement is determined by the cards you draw. Some cards grant you credits toward buying new cards with different abilities, and the cards you purchase and add to your hand determine how each player plays the game, since the card types are limited. There are several different boards you can use, each requiring different adventurer skills to navigate through, so you can't win using the same tricks every time.A lot of fun, easy to learn for everyone, easy to set up, and plays in about 30 minutes or so.

This game was super fun, super fast, and very easy to learn.

If you have played any sort of deck-building game or are looking into getting one I would say this is a good one to pick up.It's easy to learn, however there was one rule that gave us a hiccup mainly because in most other deck-building games you have to discard your hand at the end of your turn, but in this game you can choose to keep some cards if you didn't use them to possibly help you on the next turn.As is the case for most deck-builders everyone starts with the same deck, and the same setup for the "market" is used each time so you would think games would feel "samey".That is not the case since the map can be changed everytime you play since it's made of these big hexagons that are double sided and it even comes with some half pieces to add to make it even more exciting and different.Pros:Easy to learnQuick(Most of our games after setup took maybe about 30 to 40 minutes.)Lots of replayability with the how the map can be laid out.This version comes with two mini expansions that I think were promos or something like that. We haven't played with the Caves one but the three extra stacks of cards are neat.Neutral:The starting market always being the same can be a bit annoying but since the board can be so easily changed it makes it a decent constant and helps with planning and strategy.I'm not sure if the big expansion is compatible with this version or not.Cons:This version has terrible storage, I had to use some extra bag from other games to store this game properly.One of my pieces were broken when I got it but a drop of crafting glue fixed it no problem.Overall:8/10 Great game, I enjoy racing games and deck-building games, so combining the two is a good time for me and my friends.

Fun game with high replayability. You can find more map combinations posted online by other players as well to switch things up. Excellent purchase

I love this game! I am particularly enamored with the deck building aspect. I thought my kids (7 & 9) would hate it since they usually reject racing games but they frequently choose this game for family game nights.

Beautiful gameDelivery was really fast, but packaging was awful. It was sent in a bag, making the corners crumple in transport.It's a little sad to have a brand new game look like a second hand, due to poor packaging

Saw this game on many lists of "best of all time", "what's one game you can play a hundred times and not get sick of", "favorite game to teach newcomers/new to board games", "easy to learn, surprisingly deep mechanics". This game fits all the metrics. Our family's new favorite. Thanks to the immense board variability which will affect which cards are advantageous, I can see us playing this for years and years.

Great 2 player game. Bought for my brother and his gf
