After the first few games I see something different. Yes, there were a few screws, which are known from "Jambo" changed, but in my opinion not improved. The focus of the game has been significantly shifted from trading on the playing of cards that the exchange of goods back and forth and make a whole lot of additional actions. The feeling to operate a market stall, it's not completely lost. The holy places have been taken up only in my opinion, into play to compensate for the deficit of trade opportunities and to enable the use of new people and animal cards liquid.
Zusammenfasend I must say that I feel the game as a significant step back from "Jambo" and its extensions. This is especially true with the announcement that it was a commercial game. The often mentioned combining ability with "Jambo" I have not yet been tested, but for an extension of the price is then much too high. Moreover, I do not have a balanced and thoughtful instructions for this variant when even touted on the packaging, that can be combined "Asante" with "Jambo". One simply does not need the double set of gold and goods platelets, if one is to play only until a player has reached 60 gold. I can think such a variant myself, does not alter this criticism!
In conclusion, I advise all "Jambo" from connoisseurs of "Asante" and refer more to its minor enhancements. For Newcomers who are looking not strong trading game for two, but a beautifully designed card game with a stunning play flow in African atmosphere, however, it is quite recommendable.
