Bora Bora Review - Chairman of the Board

[@veedeviceable]

Love this one. Recently learned there's a hard-to-find mini expansion (orange god tiles) that's easy enough to implement with some spare tokens. Helps mitigate those instances where you roll doubles or triples--something I've had happen a few times.

[@shortydancer]

Why does riling doubles or triples considered bad?

[@samimerila1074]

Just managed to find an unpunched Bora Bora last week. Thanks for the review.

[@emmalind4484]

Probably Feld’s finest design. I absolutely adore this game. The player interaction is quite high, and although the dice results may feel restricting, there are cards that can be used to mitigate the results or ignore these restrictions. So many interesting choices each turn also. ❤️

Glad you found your grail game. The competition for setting huts in the middle of the island is also interesting because of end game scoring

[@RuffneckPenny]

Hunted this one down here in Canada! Was well worth the effort! A gem of a game👍🏿👍🏿

[@forbiddenforest5327]

thanks chairman. check out rajas ganges, merlin and luxor (queen) for 3 more classics

[@ChairmanoftheBoard]

Played them all. Big fan of Merlin.

There is a thread on the Bora Bora BGG page that links to a post where Stefan Feld more or less confirms that Bora Bora will be given a Peruvian retheme as part of the Queen Games City Collection

[@ChairmanoftheBoard]

Yeah I've heard this. Hopefully they do the game justice. Not a fan of how Queen have produced the remakes up to this point.

[@michaelrobertson3369]

@@ChairmanoftheBoard It will be expensive & only available via crowd funding or the Queen Games store due to, allegedly, no UK distributor for Queen Games

Bora Bora is my 2nd favorite Feld, right behind Trajan.

[@jankogo]

I have a real nice insert for this one.

[@ChairmanoftheBoard]

Nice!

[@drccddmm]

How would you rate this compare to bonfire?

[@ChairmanoftheBoard]

They actually have some similarities in terms of the small objectives. I think I like them equally (a lot!). Sorry if that's no help.

[@drccddmm]

@@ChairmanoftheBoard That helps. It is perfectly okay to like both equally.

Brilliant game

[@MrFrednilla]

At first I liked the game but found it too restricted. Not only with the dice but also felt like my end of the round goals dictated my moves and if I couldn't accomplish them and others did then I would lose the game. Towards the later rounds tiles it was easier to get tiles that u already fulfilled so it did get easier but overall I didn't care much for the game.
