Excessively high and damn funny

I bought this game 3 days ago and was more than impressed by the carton. Graphically makes alone the views of the exterior really her thing. Here, the graphic designer has given a lot of effort, the game is more or less from the outside already an eye-catcher.

When opening the carton, I immediately noticed how stable this is but (also unlike other games cartons) Cardboard is here amazingly thick, me as well like more.

When the lid was off and I had taken the game manual, which was also very well designed and printed in colorful paint out the top half of the board was exposed. The first sight gave me a right "Oha" moment, because the board is designed really great. Especially by the middle lane that has been lowered, the board receives a total 3D effect.

When taking out the game board I also noticed here that the board is very thick and is given to the game board so that a high stability.

The individual Tikisteinen: The Tikisteine ​​are in different colors. These are extremely high quality (unlike many other games). They are also beautifully designed. Everyone has an individual face and its own African name on the side. These stones are certainly not so easy to get broken.

Pawns: Enclosed are still in box 4 pawns in the colors red, yellow, green and blue. These are made of wood and look a bit aztec the structure, which fits very well to the game.

Playing cards: There are two types of cards. On the one hand there is for each player in his color action cards, which determine what actions it can perform. Furthermore, there are still many mission maps which indicate where the Tikisteine ​​should lie at the end ideally. Again, I think the graphic design more than above average. Especially the Totempfalgesicht on the back of the Mission cards is to look at übelst funny and lovely. From the material of the card I am very confident. Again, the developers have to splash out. The cards are printed very intense color and with a I would say gloss varnish layer? coated. This gives the card to a stability / durability and secondly it looks very classy when light shines on the cards.

The game:

The rules are very easy to explain that symbols on the action cards save the intermediate-term demands, what do the actions again. You can visually perceive very well, for which action is that card.

This is about that special Poker Face. You have to watch the reactions of the other players, but may also show itself only a few emotions. But shows an opponent emotions, for example, when a Tiki, which he needs is burned by the "Tiki Toast" campaign, it becomes really funny. No one knows what the other player Tikis needs, but sometimes reveals the one or the other.

I think the long-term game fun to play is also quite high, because it is quickly unpacked and set up and explained very quickly. Especially with 4 people it's exciting because more "Tiki Toast" cards are in the game and more Tikis can be burned, whereby only a maximum of 3 Tikisteine ​​still can be in play at the end and it really comes down to business.

In order to assess:

- Fun: 5 Stars - The game is a lot of fun, especially four. It is funny and challenging and may from time to time be played back in between.

- Pedagogical value: 4 stars - The game is in my opinion, for children and adults alike. However, I find, for adults it is just a tad bit more interesting as adults their emotions better "control" may have and be able to work with "Poker Face". Children are as yet little emotional at the matter and reveal more quickly. Therefore, I find that combination adult playing with a child .... Since then possibly the issue of fairness plays a role.

- Durability: 5 stars, actually even 10 - As soon as the game box, the game board, the Tikisteine, characters and maps are extremely high (I was also surprised). I'm still very long lasting listening pleasure.

- Overall rating: 5 stars - I think the game just great, innovative and funny. I also feel like it soon to play again, what is most important in a game. That's why I give it 5 stars

My advice: Buy, it's really a great game.
