Asante WITH JAMBO great as stand-alone game, it may have lengths

We have both Jambo, as well as its 1st and 2nd extension.
By demand from the publishers I learned that it is not a remake of Asante Jambo, but a complete stand-alone game is that can be supplemented with Jambo. Since my husband and I love to play Jambo, the purchase of Asante was a must. TThe maintaining the combination Rüdiger Dorn (Author) - Michael Menzel (graphic) leads to a constancy in the thematic and graphic implementation in the estimated manner. All occurring objects, animals and people in Asante cards are actually completely new and fit well in Jambo. From the "Holy Places" gives a nice new mechanism by which the enemy benefits from storing your own items.

I need and want Asante double rate. Once as a game and once as an extension / complement to Jambo.

ASANTE to complement Jambo:
TOP !!! BUY NOW !!! Here I would give 5 stars! The above listed weaknesses are then, so it is also very clear way on the map compilation of Asante that the game is not running. It results in a great new opportunities and interesting card combinations. Well thought out and commendable are the concerted actions and the fine-tuned graphics that allows the disassembling of all (!) Extensions !!

ASANTE as a game:
We alone, ie Asante played repeatedly without the map of Jambo or its extensions. I can not fully recommend it. For connoisseurs of Jambo runs the game and has more frustrating moments ... and with all of us played games.
Why?
1.
The proportion of objects is lower than in Jambo. But this also means that one rarely has the opportunity to be construed or consequently to use them in his train counter-employed.
. 2
There are fewer cards, a permit the tightening of hand cards, even if they are more, so you often can follow only one hand card in phase 1. At 5 actions per round it comes easier before, at the beginning of his turn only one or max. 2 cards (sometimes even none at all) to have on hand and therefore basically to be incapacitated! One uses its actions until you draw a halfway usable card, playing from the and has often left 2-3 Actions that you lack hand cards (and ausliegender items) simply can not use. This state is maintained over several rounds, so the game can be frustrating quickly.

Conclusion:
Who Jambo has and it likes to play, which I can wholeheartedly recommend the purchase of Asante.
Who does not know Jambo, should try Asante and make his own judgment - an attempt, it is all worth it, dafü the game in spite of all weaknesses solely by theme, the mood and the graphics too beautiful!
