Interesting Tile Placement GameLanterns: The Harvest Festival is a fun and surprisingly complex game. The goal of the game is fairly straight forward, collect the most points. You lay square tiles with different colored lanterns shown, whichever color is facing the players of the game gives them a card of that color. The trick comes in deciding which colors you allow your opponents to have, depending on how you turn the tiles. You can then use the cards you collect to buy point tokens. Similar to Gin Rummy, you have to have either sets of like cards or runs of all the colors of lanterns to buy the points. This is where deciding what color lanterns you let opponents obtain comes into play.I learned of this game listen to Will Wheaton talk about board games. I ended up buying it to take to my monthly game night and it was a big hit. The game itself doesn't last very long, maybe 15-20 minutes. I didn't mind this though since it allows plenty of matches through the night. If you are looking for shorter game that will keep you thinking, this is a great option. I highly recommend it. 5beautiful artwork and a good "gateway" strategy game!Fun simple strategy game. The artwork is beautiful. Once you read the directions, it's pretty easy to understand. I think my 7 year old could play it, but she wouldn't get the different types of strategy you could use to beat your opponent in the end. My wife and I enjoy it and I've enjoyed it in a group too. It's one of the better games out there in terms of strategy games for people who aren't into the ones that take hours and involve really deep-seeded strategy to it. 4Lanterns plays sort of like dominoes. You place tiles and get cards if ...Lanterns plays sort of like dominoes. You place tiles and get cards if you match colors and get bonus cards for the color that points to you (downwards). There is a good amount of strategy as you get points for getting one of each color, 3 two of a kinds or 1 set of four of a kind. Once a color card runs out, you can place tiles to prevent others from getting a free card. I'm doing a terrible job of explaining this game, so I would recommend checking out Board Game Geek or your favorite YouTube video of how its played.Very chill vibe. Game doesn't last too long with 2 players. Can't wait to play with more people as I see how it could get a little more competitive.Great for couples looking for a light game. 4A Fun, Chill, and Competitive Family GameSo, easy to learn and some good depth. My 11 year old loves strategy games and didn't want to play this because it seemed too easy or too light. To be clear this is not a deep strategy game, but it has enough that my 11-year-old really like it and asks to play it. My wife says: a chill game that has a bit of competition to it.On a random turn you collect one card (Cards are used to make sets. Sets award points like in rummy) and your competitors do as well. Where the strategy is that with planning (and a bit of luck) you can have turns where you collect 2, 3, 4, and in rare cases 5 cards while your competitors just collect the one. That's the fun. Setting yourself up in a way where you're turning sets in every turn and your competitors cannot. 5Gorgeous and SmoothPlace a tile. Wherever the colors face, a corresponding card goes to that player. Match a color between two or more tiles, and get yourself a bonus card or three. Match a tile with a symbol, and get a token that can be used to swap cards. What are you doing with these cards? Making dedications (sets) of four, three pairs, or one of every color. Get them fast, though, because sets will become less valuable with each one played. When all the tiles have been laid, everyone gets a final turn to complete any last-minute dedications. Whoever has the most points, wins.As quick as this is to learn and play, there is plenty of depth to be had. Not only are you trying to help yourself, but it's also in your interest to keep others from completing their goals. It's not a "take that" game in any way, but rather a thoughtful abstract game that scales its depth to match the players' skill levels.This game plays fantastically and looks amazing on the table. I recommend Lanterns for families and more serious game groups alike. Great stuff, this! 5Lanterns is a beautiful, light tile layer that my wife really enjoys ...Lanterns is a beautiful, light tile layer that my wife really enjoys (good thing, I bought it specially for her!). The strategy is not brain-burning at all, but the set collection makes for a fun competition as you try to grab the honor tokens for more points. In two players it's a bit deterministic and if you can stay ahead of the other player you will always be grabbing the more valuable tokens. Still enjoyable: a nice mix of Tokaido and Carcassonne (two of our favorite gateways).I'd be interested to play with four players, and especially three, as I feel the increased competition for tiles makes for a much stronger game. Recommended, looking forward to more plays. 4This is a great game. Its rules are simple enough that the ...This is a great game. Its rules are simple enough that the rules can be taught in just a few minutes. The gameplay can have a few levels of strategy. The fact that placing a tile nets your opponents cards can play into your thinking. Since you could be handing them enough cards to get a dedication. You also want to keep an eye out for opportunities to match as many colors as possible, or get as many tokens as possible with platforms. On the surface it is a simple game, but it has a few layers that a discerning player can utilize for victory.When you are done, you will have a unique piece of art to enjoy. I like taking a picture of it before putting the game away. Pretty much everyone that has played it has enjoyed it. Personally, I think it is well worth the money. Buy it, and enjoy it with your friends and family. 5Excellent mid-weight abstract game with mass-market potentialLanterns is an abstract tile-placement game with wide appeal. It's essentially a set-collector in which you trade in combinations of colored cards to score points. (Each color has a unique pattern to assist with color-blind players). You acquire certain colors of cards by placing tiles in a particular orientation, adjacent to other tiles. Sides of adjacent tiles don't have to match, but if they do you receive extra cards. Very easy to learn and play, and you'll finish a game in about 12-15 minutes per player.Easy as it is to play, strategy fans will find enough depth to consider Lanterns a midweight game. Point values for particular sets of cards diminish as the game progresses. For example, the first time a player trades in 4-of-a-kind, they will receive more points than the third player to do it. The market for each type of card is limited. Cards in possession are not hidden from other players. A particular orientation of a tile you place might give you a color you want, but also give another player a card that enables them to complete a set.The art design is pleasant, meant to represent a top-down view onto a lake during an evening fireworks display (the starting tile shows a person in a rowboat). The wooden favor tokens are stamped in red with kanji that I can't read, but probably matches some hipster's inner-arm tattoo. The non-textured cards are average quality, and they are frequently handled. Consider sleeving them if you will play often. Handle the cardboard tiles carefully to avoid tearing the graphics on the back, since unlike the cards, the tiles in your hand are hidden.Another game that I really enjoy which I find similar to Lanterns is Splendor. Both have a small footprint, a limited market that replenishes, shorter length of play, scales well from 2-4 players, very few rules to grok, but with an economy of decisions that subtly affect the final outcome. Personally, I consider these to be two of the best abstract games of recent years, and you can play both in the same amount of time as one game of Settlers of Catan or Ticket To Ride. 5Great, easy gameGreat, easy game. Highly recommend it for the whole family.In my opinion, it's very similar to Ticket to Ride. You're collecting sets of colored lanterns which you can trade in for points on your turn, very straightforward. What I prefer about this game is how active each turn is, even if it's not your turn. Everyone gets a new lantern every time a tile is played, unlike TrR where you only get cards on your Turk and the drawing is completely random.Ticket to ride has a slightly more competitive element, with the limit number of routes available, which can be fun or completely off-putting for some people. Lanterns usually ends in very close games and no one usually feels cheated or closed off from winning.Both are great games, but since receiving Lanterns, Ticket to Ride hasn't gotten any table time :/ 5Fun game, great visuals, too limited for 2 playersI love the color of this game. The visuals are really nice, and the mechanics are genius for 3 or 4 players. The theme overall is very interesting, but it's not explained very well in context (what's a tribute?) to keep you immersed. That said, it's fun to play. I'm rating it 3 stars because it was on a list of recommended 2-player games, and I don't think it's quite that. I play most games with/against my wife - great thing to do from time to time instead of zoning out in front of the TV. The problem is, the same great mechanics for four players that add risk/reward drama (you play a tile that helps you, but may also help your opponents) is far too easily controlled with only 2 players. In other words, it's often very easy to find a tile that helps you but doesn't help your opponent as much. With each additional player added, that ability to control where benefit goes decreases quickly.So I feel like, with 2 players, it's always going to be a 50-50 split of who wins. In fact, once we learned the rules, in our first game we tied. So we went to the tie-breaker, and that was tied also. The rule book even has a third-tier tie-breaker, and we were the same there as well - so the book suggested we split the victory. Which is fine, but for the rule book to even have that in the first place, I feel like it's a common enough ocurrance that it really takes away the vast majority of strategy from the game when playing as a duo. 3
