Pros

  • fantastic thinky puzzler from Knizia. as always with his stuff, how you score is the most important thing here, and scoring twice but playing differently for the second half of the game is such a good idea.
  • I recommend either blue lagoon or octopus for social places.
  • 6. Waves crashing near the Blue Lagoon, Nusa Ceningan
  • Blue Lagoon - I have friends who argue this might be Knizia's best game. The twist here is that you play in 2 eras (kinda like in Brass), where what you do in the first era determines where you can start in the second era.
  • I have had great success playing Butterfly Garden, Whale Riders, Blue Lagoon and Project L with my young relatives.

Malta's awesome! Try hitting up the Blue Lagoon, it's totally worth it.

We did the Blue Lagoon and really enjoyed it. It's huge! I'm sure there are other, more authentic baths but if you end up going to the Blue Lagoon, I think you'll enjoy it.

for 2-4 players only I'd recommend **Azul**, **Kingdomino**, and **Blue Lagoon**.

maybe you'd also like Blue Lagoon or Through the Desert from the same designer as Quest for El Dorado. ... Both are games that I'd describe as having simple rules but packing a ton of depth
