Board Game Geek Reviews


  1. Vaguely reminiscent of Alan Moon's Elfenroads, players play cards to use other animals as transportation. It's filled with rules to keep the leader from getting too far ahead (typical of Herr Green Hair's designs). In the one game I have played, three of the five players finished during the same round. There is no rule for breaking ties. May I suggest the player with the fewest cards in one's hand is the winner?

  2. 6 out of 10

    Really, really charming presentation. It has moments, but overall not really too exciting in the end. Sold my copy.

  3. 5 out of 10

    I love race games, so I looked forward to trying this one out. While this one is alright, I found it a bit dry and without super interesting decisions. The fun mostly comes from the chaos of all of the players moving the animals around, and (mostly unintentionally) messing with each others' plans. If you like this kind of chaos, you might really enjoy this game! The game might have been more of a 6 in terms of game play, but I had to knock this one a point for the amateur-level artwork and graphic design. The cover in particular is pretty unacceptable by today's standards.

You are sloths — cuddly, lazy, and, oh well, slothful.

All animals (including humans) like to take vacations, so everyone is together at a country resort. We sloths are sitting around, of course, while all the other animals are running throughout the resort. We want to look around, too, and traveling around the resort to pick up tasty leaves would be great — but running around ourselves is just too tedious. All the other animals are having fun, and we want that, too, but…we are so slothful.

And then we have an idea: We’ll let ourselves be carried around by the other animals, thus getting around nicely. The other animals have so much energy that they’ll even gladly carry us. They aren’t slothful! Which of us sloths will be the first to get through the entire country and be victorious? We are ambitious, but so lazy!

Fast Sloths (a.k.a. "Faultier" in German) is a race game that at its core is a classic pick-up-and-deliver game — except that we ourselves are the cargo being delivered. We are being carried along the whole way and never take a single step on our own!

You always play with six out of twelve different animal species, and you can place the giant game board in four different combinations. On a turn, you draft 2-3 cards of different animal types from the top of their face-up decks, then you play as many animal cards as you like of a single type. Each animal provides a different type of movement or interaction with you, with ants carrying you along in a chain and the elephant throwing you with its trunk.

Fast Sloths is a game free from randomness that evolves only through the interaction between the players, doing so without any "take that" mechanisms — except for you snatching an animal from under the other players’ noses because you need to use it yourself.

Each race offers new challenges for you to get to the different trees faster than the other sloths. Enjoy all 256 different combinations, each with countless starting positions of the animals on the game board…and we are already working on new game boards and more animals for even more fun combinations!
