Okay version of Carcassonne. Does not beat traditional Carcassonne, but adds an interesting element of racing down the Amazon river. I really think the race down the Amazon is interesting and is a starting point for some great expansion ideas with the base game of Carcassonne. However, I have noticed that you can win the game easily if you get lucky drawing tiles and outpace the other players when racing. I also think the game does not have enough tiles to genuinely fill out all the available space along the Amazon. I find that all the jungles, villages, and tributaries get built around the starting point of the Amazon down to about half the length of the completed river. I would suggest this game as a standalone variant of Carcassonne if you are familiar with traditional Carcassonne and looking for something different with short gameplay comparable to the base game without expansions. There are no expansions for this game, currently. I would not suggest this game for more experienced game players who like to be challenged. Very light, good for a family game if you need to waste 30-45 min.

Components: Looks great. Right up there with Hunters and Gatherers and The Castle as my favorite-looking Carcassonne games. This game in particular is filled with life: villages, animals, trees. The end-game arrange isn't as nice, though; the river restriction causes a long axis, sometimes with perpendicular axis, rather than the more tightly clustered final map of other Carcassonnes. Experience: The drawing and placing of Amazon tiles feels a bit randomly constraining. As in all Carc games, tile draw in general is random. Feels a bit clunky to always be remembering to move the boats when I don't place a meeple. The river takes away from my pure enjoyment of claiming villages, tributaries, and jungles. Jungle scoring, like in Hunters and Gatherers, is easy and fun. Because of the mini-game going on on the river, this game more than other Carcs is analysis prone; 30 minute playing time seems inaccurate.

Not as good as regular Carcassonne + expansions. Definitely less mean, though. Great with kids or people who don't like the cut-throat nature of Carcassonne.
