  1. 8 out of 10

    I enjoyed the "race" element in this game, although it did seem to be pointless at the end (2 player game) where we both were as far as we could be and could no longer progress. Perhaps with more players this wouldn't be an issue. Good twist on Carcassonne original.

  2. 6 out of 10

    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.

    Another very nice variation of Carcassonne. The Amazon river tiles stretch the game space and make it feel like a race to explore the Amazon region. There are some nice new decisions to make (not placing a meeple will move your boat). My wife and I enjoy it with just two, and we look forward to trying it out with more players.

In Carcassonne: Amazonas, players sail their boats to the Amazon to discover abundant wildlife. Players score points not only for discovering animals, but also for visiting native villages and water courses while their boat moves forward on the Amazon. Amazon is full of caimans and piranhas which often (and somewhat unpredictably) bring points to those who are farthest down the river (you move your boats forward when you encounter boat symbols on your water courses and also when you do not place any meeple on water courses or villages, nor huts in jungles). The game ends – as usual – when all tiles have been used up, and the two boats fartherst down the river score some bonus points (depending on the number of players).

Carcassonne: Amazonas is the third title in the "Carcassonne Around the World" series.
