Review: Quick to learn, very fun gameplay, always a big hit! - 🤠 The Quest for El Dorado is an awesome racing game with a well designed deck building mechanic and modular board. Every time you play you can build an entirely different track of jungles, rivers, towns, and caves and test out different deck building strategies for great variety. It’s SUPER simple—cards are used for traveling, purchasing, or abilities—and it’s easy to teach and quick to learn. The Heroes and Hexes expansion adds great content and more variability, but the Golden Temple stand-alone expansion can be passed on. Turns are fast paced with little down time, and the racing element always get my heart racing!
Review: The road....to El Doradooooo... - I cant help but think about the animated movie when i think of this game, and i love both! You will definetly need a bit of table space for this game but its worth it. There are multiple tiles with lots of different configurations so the race always feels fresh, im the rulebook gal so im always reading and then explaining before i play games with anyone and i feel like it took me maybe 6 minutes to explain this game and then the race was on...at the end we were neck and neck and it was intense and fun, but also simple...sometimes you dont want to spend 20 minutes setting up the player board and 30 minutes selecting a character and then 3 hours trying to play through some tough scenario. Ease of learning and replayability for this game for me is high. Its also a pretty jungle theme, the cards are cute and small, watch the road to Eldorado while you play the game to fully submerge yourself in the theme!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Game! RavensBurger is the leader in fun gaming!
*by T***W on January 10, 2021*

What adventurous fun! Great 2 player game for my wife and I (but you can play with up to 4 people). It take about 45 min.-1 hour to play (not a including set up/breakdown). Top quality materials used too. Cards are half the size of regular playing cards but you get used to it. It comes with everything you need to get started and for break down. Many small zip lock type bags were included for storage in the nice big and thick box. There is a learning curve, so we watched some videos on Youtube of people going through the rules and a a playthrough. It is worth the time as it is a fun game and this fun game should not be discarded due to not understanding the rules. There is setup and instruction sheet which we read, but I get a greater understanding from supplementalbaudio and visuals too. Once learned, the game brings lots of fun, through both luck and skill. We like how there can be so many board variations and we even amended the rules ourselves such as in the event of a tie, players count their obstruction tiles and the player with the highest sum wins. So Glad we brought this game into our game board quiver. I recently bought the Golden Temples expansion and look forward to incorporating in the near future.
