Fantasy Flight GamesDiscover: Lands Unknown Multi-colored

I like games that you can play over and over. Not games that act alike a book where you read it once and leave on the shelf to collect dust.Unless you're someone who enjoys "surprise mechanics" I'd spend my money on any other board game other than this.

Es un juego de exploración que puede ser jugado de manera cooperativa o competitiva. Me gustan mucho los juegos cooperativos, pero este lo disfruto más jugando de manera competitiva. Algo que lo hace único es el hecho de que cada copia de juego es totalmente diferente. (Nadie que compre este juego tendrá la misma copia).

El juego está excelente, me encantó. Mi problema es con el PÉSIMO SISTEMA DE ENVÍO. En vez de ponerlo en una caja con su respectivo material de protección, me lo enviaron en una bolsa! El juego me llegó golpeado de las esquinas...

Was on time no damage to the packaging. Can’t wait to play.

First, I really don't understand why this game has so many negative reviews on this website, but I am here to give an in-depth and honest review. I want to start by saying I now own THREE copies of this game. TLDR, I love this game and I would highly recommend it if you are looking for something fun, interesting, and engaging that will keep you entertained for a few hours. However, it is a complicated game to set up and learn, so be prepared for that and prepared for long gameplay. Alright, now let's dive into this:Set Up: This is probably the games biggest detractor. Due to every box being unique, most of the game pieces come in cardboard sheets that you have to punch out and organize yourself. The scenario, exploration, enemy, and threat cards also come in packs that you have to manually sort out by number. This is tedious. It will take you about half an hour to an hour to get your game completely set up for the first time. I recommend keeping all of the pieces for each land in one ziploc baggie, and the pieces for universal gameplay in another. I also used small rubber bands to section off the cards, one stack for each terrain and then a stack with the character, scenario, and time of day cards. This makes future set up easier. The game does not come with a concrete organizational system, so you will have to come up with what works for you. I went ahead and attached some photos showing what my box looks like all put away. After your initial set up, it's also pretty lengthy to set up each game. It takes me about five to ten minutes just to get all the pieces laid out. Be prepared for this.Gameplay: This is NOT a short game. Nine times out of ten, the landmarks won't be close to each other and you will hit obstacles on your journey. On average, this game takes me and my sister 1.5 to 2 hours to play. It is a time commitment, but we are not bored at all for those entire two hours. You will go through ups and downs, and sometimes it can be frustrating because you may hit a lot of roadblocks, or get unlucky with the layout of your map. All that being said, I have never run into a situation where a scenario wasn't achievable. I honestly think that unless you're either playing it wrong, or you got a used game with missing cards, there really isn't any way to have an impossible scenario. The organization system of the game ensures that since all the scenarios are connected by a common story line anyway for each terrain. The benefit of purchasing on Amazon is you can just return it. We have three copies of this game, all with different scenarios, and five out of six of the possible terrains and NONE of them have been impossible to complete. This means we have a total of 12 unique scenarios (scenario 5 is universal in all boxes and is a competitive style free for all), and none of them have been impossible. At first, I was a bit worried about the replayability of this game, as I figured it wouldn't be fun if you knew what was coming. I was wrong. Knowing what's coming makes it fun in a completely different way! Now you can use your knowledge to try and uncover more facts, and you start to notice little details that connect the scenarios in interesting ways. There was clearly a lot of thought put into this game. I will say, this takes a while to learn if you are not an experienced strategy board gamer. If you are playing with friends and family who are more casual players, take your time explaining and explain as you go. Read the instructions carefully and keep the instruction booklets with you during gameplay. I still refer to them even now. This is not really the kind of game you play twice in one sitting. I recommend having snacks on hand. If a person dies in the game, it can be a little bit boring for them to wait for the game to finish, so I suggest allowing them to help in strategy even after they die, that way they don't just have to sit there. If you are playing cooperatively, it's easier to avoid someone dying. All in all, the gameplay is interested and there are a lot of unexpected twists and turns that can happen!Some Notes: This game is not for everyone. I find it to be more fun as a cooperative game than competitive, but it is complex so be prepared for thinking and strategy. This is not a game for children. They will not understand it fully and you will get frustrated. I would say the youngest that should play this is maybe 10 if you've got a really smart 10 year old. My sister and I got lucky getting different lands in each box we got, so don't go buying a whole bunch of copies expecting them all to be different. You might end up with one or two things the same and you have to be prepared for that. Worse come worst, open the box, examine it's contents without opening them up, and return it if there are too many duplicates, or gift it to someone else.I really do love this game and honestly don't understand all of the bad reviews here on Amazon. This is a pretty popular game at most of the board gaming cafes in my town, and I've seen lots of great things about it on Reddit, so I'm not sure what's up with the people posting reviews here. When I bought this game first, it was $25, and then the third time I bought it was $20. Those prices were a STEAL for the quality of the game. At the end of the day, do what you will, but I love this game and would HIGHLY recommend it.
