Palm Island Deluxe

I LOVE this game. I love playing tabletop games, but as we all know, they tend to be restrictive when it comes to many factors such as available space, number of players, and play time.I played this game DURING a conference call today without anyone being the wiser. I've never seen mechanics quite like what are in this game, and they are rock solid. I really appreciate how truly portable this game is. The entire thing we fit in my front pocket, and believe me, I will make this a part of my EDC arsenal.

I received Palm Island Deluxe as a gift and it's been an amazing addition to my game collection. Its compact size and engaging gameplay make it a constant companion in my car for on-the-go entertainment. The game is easy to learn, which is great for spontaneous gaming sessions with friends or family. I'm so impressed with it that I'm kickstarting their next game, Palm Lab.

It’s super portable and fun. Not hard to learn but does take some practice to get good at. It’s basically everything it should be - a great time waster when you’ve got 10 minutes to kill.Your hand will likely cramp at some point. Be brave and play through the pain.

I was really doubtful about this game because it is pricy for a solo game like this. Also, the fact that there was no win condition and it is just point based made me be even more hesitant. I still got it to see and I’m so happy I did. This is a very addicting game! The fact that the cards are shuffled for every game means that every game has its own challenges and every game is it’s own puzzle to solve. It has a very I tweeting mechanic that gives say for surprisingly complex decisions. I have not been able to stop playing it. I haven’t even used the villagers, co-op, and competitive play and have unlocked like 3 feats and I’m already really loving it. This game packs a very big pinch for such a small simple game. If you like puzzles and are interested in such a compact game, get it bc it really is worth it.

all game play takes place in your hand and is fast and fun to play. The version I got was the deluxe version with amazing card quality and a nice little wallet. It also came with a campaign with a set of checkable achievements that once beaten gives you a new card to add to your game. To further change it up there are multiple npc cards that each change the way you score (by giving points for certain buildings for example) or offer you a card that cost you points but givers you resources.

The plastic cards in this edition of the game are worth the price alone. This may seem funny, but I love playing this while sitting on the beach. No worries about the cards getting damaged. The little carrying case is also a great addition. I carry both decks and whip them out on the plane while my wife and I are traveling. Such a clever game that takes up zero table space to play.

Everything is nice! And the cards are not slippery. In fact, the more you play with them the less slippery they get. You might want to wash them every once in a while. The Pleather case is not made specifically for carrying cards and thus suffers greatly at its utility but works well enough for just the core set of 11 cards.The game is great and fun. It provides a couple of hours of play if you understand resource building and burn through all the extra content fairly quickly as each acheivment make it easier and higher acheivments reachable. Haven't trid thebtwo player part, but here's hoping I get stuck in the dmv line with a fellow BG buddy. Maybe one day... ... ...

This game is better than I thought! I would definitely recommend this to anyone who likes to game, especially solo board gamers. Turn off the screen and play and good game.
