Stake your fortunes in the mysterious island world of Bora Bora. Journey across islands, building huts where the resilient men and women of your tribes can settle, discovering fishing grounds and collecting shells. Send priests to the temples, and gather offerings to curry favor with the gods.

In Bora Bora, players use dice to perform a variety of actions using careful insight and tactical planning. The heart of the game is its action resolution system in which 5-7 actions are available each round, the exact number depending on the number of players. Each player rolls three dice at the start of the round, then they take turns placing one die at a time on one action. Place a high number on an action, and you’ll generally get a better version of that action: more places to build, more choices of people to take, better positioning on the temple track, and so on. Place a low number and you’ll get a worse action – but you’ll possibly block other players from taking the action at all as in order to take an action you must place a die on it with a lower number than any die already on the action.

Three task tiles on a player’s individual game board provide some direction as to what he might want to do, while god tiles allow for special actions and rule-breaking, as gods are wont to do. The player who best watches how the game develops and uses the most effective strategy will prevail.

Beautiful game board, great for seasoned board gamers I bought this game to play with my usual board game group. We traditionally play eurogames and favor Settlers of Catan, Carcassonne, Agricola, etc.When I opened the box, the first thing I noticed was that the game is visually stunning. The colors are beautiful, and the pictures are intricate and gorgeous.The second thing I noticed was that there are NO words on the game board. None. While this makes the game easy to market internationally, it can complicate learning…

First Impressions: Looks beautiful, but beware the steep learning curve Tried Bora Bora at a board game convention because it looked amazing and reminded me of , one of my favorite board games. However, beyond the tropical theme and collecting tiles, this game isn’t really much like Hawaii at all. It’s a total pain in the butt to learn and set up, with infinitely more pieces to keep track of than Hawaii (whose fiddly setup is super-easy compared to Bora Bora). To make matters worse, the…
