Why It's On The List
- Take the part I like best about Kingdomino (the drafting system), use it to drive a tile placement game with thematic scoring (like Carcassonne but without the arguments about which set of farm rules we’ll be using), and provided the proper components (big cloth bag, easy to read tiles, clever use of cards to add variety) to make a really enjoyable game experience.
- The scoring has a number of elements... however, they all make sense AND the scoring track includes a reminder of all the rules in play.
- Start with the Family game... the Advanced Game has some risk/reward elements that won't be clear until you've got a couple of games under your belt.
Extras
- The first mini-expansion (Putt of No Return) does things: it adds interesting new course tiles and investors, it provides two-layer par boards (a welcome addition), and it fixes my main complaint about the original game with new and better art for all the cards.
- The second mini-expansion (Minigolf Empire) has a cute dice game for playing through the course you created and an extensive campaign system... but I like it best for the "news" cards which offer a variety of goals to use even in single games.
- Here's my review of Minigolf Designer for the Opinionated Gamers site.
- I find the solo mode an engaging puzzle with a nice push-your-luck element. Highly recommended for solo play.
