Life of the Amazonia – Impressions After One Play
gamesreviews.comLast night, my father-in-law, my wife and a friend sat down at the table to play Life of the Amazonia, the latest game successfully Kickstarted by Bad Comet Games. “’Life of the Amazonia’ is a medium-weight strategic meeple placing game that combines bag building and pattern building.
In Life of the Amazonia, you’ll be invited to the lush jungle of the Amazon to join in the mission of building an ecologically rich jungle. The beautiful animals of the Amazon will guide you through the deep puzzles and strategic experience. After a pleasantly challenging game, you’ll find that there is a beautiful jungle created in front of each player.”

Getting Life of the Amazonia to the table
What I really like about Life of the Amazonia is the token bin included in the box. While there is a bit a assembly to get it setup, once you do, almost all the tokens you will use during the game are nicely sorted and stored in those boxes.

Then each player needs a discard boat, a bag, the required starting chips, and a unique animal to the start the game.
