Tenpenny Parks

Fun game with snappy turns. Don't let the simplicity fool you, there are still meaningful choices to make. Only downside would be the objectives that are similar (i.e. Most of something), so those don't add much variability and everyone knows that someone is going to have to be the most of something by the end of the game.

It's beautiful. There are a lot of games in the theme park genre, but this is the one I've been waiting for- because of the polyomino tiles, you're actually building your park out. Money is tight, so you need to quickly make a lean little engine by collecting concessions and a few souvenir shops, while not overspending and so falling behind on buying attractions. Attractions give your visitors combos of three emotions- joy, thrill and awe- staying ahead on these tracks give you vital end of round bonuses and points if you reach the end. But space is tight and placement is restrictive on your park board, so buying the right tile at the right price and placing perfectly is equally as important. Just a great game- lots to puzzle over in a short time frame.

This is was a surprisingly light polyomino puzzle game mix with some worker placement. One thing that I really like is the production, thick cardboard and beautiful art by Vincent Dutrait. The gameplay was alright like I said, pretty light and tactical, i think I prefer other polyomino puzzle games like Isle of Cats or even Barenpark, this didn’t stand out to me but if you like a wonderful production do check it out.

I enjoy this one solo a lot and have also played with 2P. It plays in just 5 rounds which makes for a tight experience. You won't get to do everything and it can sometimes feel like your turns follow a similar pattern. But there's enough variety in the goals to keep it interesting. The art is fantastic especially if you like the whole carnival theme. Like the title says, this is a nice intro into heavier gaming or a nice filler for more advanced gamers, though some may mind the set-up time for what you get out of it.

Really enjoyable gameplay. It's an interesting take on polyominal tile-laying for sure! Superb artwork enhances the experience. I feel that is family-friendly for ages 10+.

My wife and I like carnival and circus type games so for us this game is wonderful. The art is good and game play flows well.

...there's a great game. There's plenty of options to keep you thinking about your strategy through all five rounds.

Beautiful artwork and concept, but very little replayability.

My partner and I love this game! Great with all player counts and gets better with each play.

So much fun! Reminds me of Roller Coaster Tycoon mixed with Monopoly. Physically building the park is really really fun. There are goal cards that every player gets that change every game and it's meant to be a guide as to how you can build your park during the game but you aren't obligated to fulfill them. If you do complete them, you gain an extra 3 VP which will count toward the end of the game. But they're not detrimental. Just an added bonus. I played against my gf and the final score was somewhere around 53-34. So the cards kinda help form a strategy so you don't go in blind every time. There are a lot of pieces so having game trays is a plus. But an awesome game and highly recommend it!!
