    I’m playing my second game of Quest for El Dorado, and I’m in love. It’s so clearly a deck builder designed by someone with the same issues with the genre that I have.

    The Dog Island. This 2007 RPG/adventure was developed in Japan and all dogs in the game were given Italian names. When they published it in the West, Ubisoft de-italianized some of the names (like Edoardo becoming El Dorado). So, this Japanese game was... uh too Italian for the West. Woof.

    A few months back when me and some others rewatched The Road To El Dorado, I learned that the guy who Miguel and Tulio got the map from in a dice game by cheating is voiced by none other than Jigsaw himself, Tobin Bell. Make of that what you will.

    The Quest for El Dorado I really like the mixture of deck building and the more old-school "move a guy to the finish line" type gameplay. Makes it one of the more accessible deck builders too, with various map configs to adjust the difficulty.

    You know, in the future? I think I'd like to do either a) a two-player horror/mystery game (because, hey, the Mulder/Scully dynamic is always fun) or b) a two-player comedy game where the PCs are partners in crime. See, famously, Road to El Dorado.

    When I first discovered board gaming I would buy all expansions at once, but now I only buy the base game and it's got to be a real keeper before I even look at the expansions. Our favorite family game is Quest for El Dorado and I'll never buy the expansions because the base is perfect.

    5) The Quest for El Dorado. The only deckbuilding racing game in my collection. The cards you play allow you to move along a track of varying terrain. It's a good intro to deckbuilders if Dominion is too sterile. Plays quickly, easy to teach, very smooth, and modular boards keep things fresh.

    #ElDorado: a deck building game with a board, which makes it less abstract. Cards are varied, simple by themselves, but combined effects make for good complexity. Different strategies are viable. I really love this game! Just wish the path could be longer. The way it is, even on the longest imaginable route, the race will remain close. This is good playing with kids, but against adults, a longer game would be nice. https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/217372/the-quest-for-el-dorado
