Spin Master Games, SolidRoots Escaping Extinction, Cooperative Strategy Board Game from The Makers of Mind The Gap, for Kids & Family, 1-4 Players, for Ages 12 & Up

We love this game!!! My kids are 6, 8, and 11, and this game was just as enjoyable for them as for my husband and I! It’s hard to find games that are fun for us and the kids, and this one is it! Easy to learn and understand. Awesome instructional video! And the perfect amount of challenge and learnability. The quality is excellent. Great colors, durable pieces! We love it!

It's hard to find something that everyone will put their tablets down to play... but this was it. I able to convince them to do it based on it looking like Catan. Game is farily straight forward and moves fairly fast. The earthquake cards mix up the tiles a few times so that the strategy doesnt get stale. Good game.

There is a major error in the rule book. The book says wood is for healing and vines are needed for the rocket and the help card says the opposite. The reference card is right, which might be the first time I've had to ignore the book in favor of the reference card.That said, this is a neat little lightweight game with a cool theme, though it's a little simplistic for my own tastes. The earthquake event, which shuffles the map tiles, feels a bit cumbersome, but is also a neat way to keep the exploration aspect fresh.The box says it's for ages 12+, but younger children could easily learn and enjoy this game when accompanied by an older player.

Easy to learn and play! Has become a great go to for quick solo fun. Rules are a little misleading but are videos to watch that clarify everything! Don't let the simple rules errors make you miss out on this one.

First and foremost, the game is fun. Kind of like the game Pandemic, but you don't need to think as deeply. We had a blast playing it. However there's a couple glaring issues:1. The instructions say to collect 8 vines as a part of the completion conditions. However, each player also has a reference card in which it says to collect 8 woods as a part of the completion conditions.2. Again there is a discrepancy where the instructions say to use wood to heal. However in the reference cards it says to use vines to heal.Also throughout the instructions it says "launchpad", there's even a piece with the word "launchpad" on. But ss you can see in on eof the photos the reference card says "Rocket Board". All very confusing, it's like the reference cards were made by a completely different team or something. If these typos were fixed, this game would be a solid 5/5.

The media could not be loaded. Thief is a fun board game of cops and robbers. My family has been enjoying it quite a bit. It is definitely beneficial to watch the quick tutorial on YouTube to get started. My boys, 11 and 8, liked it a lot. They liked the goofy sayings on the cards and the strategies you can use to try to win. I will say the cops seem to have it better so the robber needs to make sure to strategize and use all the special spaces on the board possible to get every advantage. We liked that it took 30-45 minutes to play. We could always switch teams if we wanted to play again. I feel like the number of players to make it the most fun is 3-4. All in all, it is a lot of fun and not too long to finish. Great family game for us to have.

Our family loves board games and this one is now our favorite co-op board game. If you like Forbidden Island or any other co-op board games, you’ll love this. There is more strategy and depth to this game than your normal cookie cutter game. It took a little bit to read through all the gameplay because there many variables, cards, assests, etc that you use to navigate the game. That being said, it all together creates for a great strategic game for the family. The pieces for the game are much higher quality than other board games out there too. The gameplay is recommended for 12+ in age, but our kids are 8 and 9 and were able to understand the basics and, as a team, we were able to guide through the game together. All in all, a well put together and high quality game for the family. Highly recommended

Love the concept and art! But there are issues with the rulebook and game pieces directly contradicting each other. We basically had to make up house-rules to make it playable. Maybe an edited version 2 will rock.
