This game’s application of theme to board game is uncommonly good. The migration mechanic is relatively unique. Prompted by a set of seasonal (i.e., round-end) goals, players move their butterflies from Mexico up to Canada and then back down, replicating the IRL monarch butterfly’s migration pattern. It is somewhat similar to track movement / set collection games like Tokaido, but we found Mariposas a distinct, and enjoyable, experience. It is also absolutely beautiful on the table. Perhaps the only area of concern is replayability; the setup is only somewhat variable and the seasonal goals are only so different from each other. But we nonetheless foresee keeping this game, playing it every so often, and loving it.

Took a while for my kids to learn (starting age for the game is 14+) but my kids really enjoy it. Hubby and I love this game too - has a lovely rhythm to it. Pieces are fiddly and we had to refer to a YouTube tutorial to answer questions that we had regarding the rules... so rules book should be less ambiguous.

The game is quite satisfying for how straightforward it is, and the way that the cards provide different sorts of incentives for Spring, Summer, and Fall, with the incentives for the first two making it harder to get the game end bonuses, is really clever. Downside would be that it doesn't feel like it has a lot of depth; like, it's a hard game to imagine anybody getting obsessed about. Also, it does feel like there should be a two-player variant or something. Notably, there is this bonus system that offers the possibility of getting an extra bonus if you can get four cards of a type, and the way it works makes it easter to do with more players. My wife and I have never come close to getting that bonus.
