My BGG Comment

SPIEL 2023. Not bad. Would play again if someone really wanted to. But as previously noted by others the boardstate is a bit difficult to read and it takes a little long for what it does. We weren’t sure what the odd shapes of the tiles were really doing for the game either. Hex-tiles might have been quite the same… and allowed for some more interesting pathing issues. In our game there was never really an option to create a short-cut so the donkeys were most important. In addition to that, there might be some optimal starting moves. We did not even try the expansion because nobody at the table had played before.
