Difficult game
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was looking forward to playing this game on our family game night but the instructions were too difficult to comprehend. They were so many steps to remember in order to play the game accurately. When there’s too many steps or rules it takes the fun out of the game.

Interesting
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love trying new board games and so does my husband. We tried this game out and thought it was fun. I am not sure how often it will get played, but we may bring this to the next game night with our friends.

Fun game!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Karuba - Tile Laying Puzzle Game is a fun family oriented game that has a nice balance between playing time and fun. Set up takes a little bit and the game itself is a little bit to get used to, but after the first game or two, its only about a 20-25 minute game. I find this a great thing, as my kids sometimes don't have the greatest attention spans. The game itself is made pretty great, the pieces are sturdy and easy to use, and the directions are easy to follow. We found this to be a great addition to our family game nights!

Fun game for older kiddos
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a fun concept! We love the detail and game plot. There’s a lot going on so open when you have a couple hours to set up and play. The kids got frustrated because it was taking me a while to read through the instructions, separate all the player cards and then actually play. We had to leave the game and finish up the next day. It is a really interesting and different type of game that makes you think. I felt smarter when I played it and the younger kids played along the best they could. I would recommend for 7 and up. Younger kids will enjoy all the pieces and try to play along. Really small kids are not recommended because of choking hazards. I appreciate all the little storage bags to store the pieces and keep them organized.

Family fun
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I decided to have game night with my grandkids and we played Karuba. We had so much fun playing that we decided to play again the following day. It was easy to set up and easy for them to understand the game.

Fun for the Whole Family
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to set up right out of the box. The rules are simple and straight forward even for my kids. There is a little bit of set up so being organized with the various piececs helps. The only (minor) complaint: the gameplay is simple enough that just by mimicking the other player's moves you can manipulate the game into a draw every time. My kids aren't very into direct competition so this game is perfect because in terms of gameplay cannot directly affect other players. Non-competitive (haha) fun for the whole family!
