Outside of that, this game is a lot of fun. As mentioned, it plays very quickly. Turns are rapid: draw a tile, place it somewhere. The sense of trepidation as you build routes that may or may not be for you, and waiting to see if other players take them before you have the chance to do so yourself, is genuinely exhilarating.

The overall balance to know when to escape and not wanting to get trapped with a limited number of cards is a very interesting mechanic wrapped in adorable art.
The player interaction is wonderful throughout the game. Building the dungeon while placing cards to help yourself and trying to hinder your opponents is fun. Then, trying to escape at the perfect moment can bring groans or laughter across the table based on perfect timing or just missing the right turn.

In se is de basis van het spel wel solide, maar de randelementen, of kleine regels zorgen ervoor dat je wat op je honger blijft zitten. Je kiest bijvoorbeeld in het begin tussen twee queesten – waarbij de ene een persoonlijke wordt en de andere een gemeenschappelijke – maar wanneer je toevallig niet de juiste wapensymbolen hebt om die monsters om te leggen start je al met een nadeel.

A nice lightweight, set collection, tile placement dungeon game that makes good use of the theme, family friendly, easy to teach and it plays fast and smooth.

Es tracta de un joc de masmorres senzill, familiar i inclús infantil que permet a les persones amb menys bagatge endinsar-se en el seu primer familiar dungeon. Pels més experts no aporta més que un joc de masmorres de durada molt ajustada en el temps.

I’m pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed Tales of Tails. 😻 It feels like a roguelike game, where each playthrough brings new challenges and surprises. 🧐 I would be delighted to play it again. It’s an entertaining family-friendly fantasy game that appeals to both younger players and adults alike. With its fun, fast-paced gameplay and strategic elements, it’s definitely a hit! 👏😺

I’d say Tales of Tails is definitely at a family level of complexity. If you like dogs then the theme could be a real hit (enemies are fittingly themed around cats 😼). We did find that 2p games aren’t that exciting as there is less dungeon building and less blocking of paths, so I’d say 3 or 4 players are probably a must. If you want a light hearted cutesy adventure, then check the game out. 😉

The game is incredibly fun as a family game. The collaboration aspect of the game makes it stand out, as you can guide children in building the dungeon. The art is fun, and the variety of monsters and items in the tiles adds to the replay value of the game.
Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by this game, and it will stick around in my collection as a niche Dungeons and Dragons lite style of game.
