Why It's On The List

• An interesting mix of exploration game & puzzle game (how do I convert resources & moves into points?) with lovely old-school Goldsieber production.

Tips & Tricks:

• Do not play this with 5 players - ever. Many of the bad attitudes about this game exist courtesy of playing with 5. (It's best with 3... though 2 or 4 work just fine.)
• You can win without ever reaching the temple... but the more players there are in the game, the less well this works.
• My younger son picked up on this really well... he and his brother think that Goldland and Agricola are "kind of like Minecraft board games".
