Escape to Bora Bora with Ravensburger

Posted on by

If you are wracking your brain for a way to get your kids to spend at least an hour with you, it’s time to get in the game.

borabora-coverIt’s child’s play — or at least tween play — with Ravensburger, which has been making engaging games and puzzles for 125 years.

Bora Bora explores the ancient world of the South Pacific. The subtitle — Gods’ Goods and Greatness — sums up the strategy. Roll the dice and figure a way to island hop, build shelters, catch fish and gather shells. Send priests to the temple to gather offerings to native gods.

This is not a quick game of checkers. You will have to put on your thinking cap. Expect to spend 60-120 minutes struggling to outwit and outlast one another — and have fun while you’re at it.

Bora Bora is designed for two to four players age 12 and up.

The game includes:

  • 1 game board
  • 4 player boards
  • 250+ tiles
  • 100+ wooden pieces
  • 60 cards
  • 12 dice
  • Detailed instructions; 12 pages of them!

What you won’t find is video. The only electronics involved are in your brain.

Too tough for you? Maybe you can find your battered Chutes and Ladders at the bottom of the toy box.

Or maybe it’s time to kid up and play a challenging game that does not involve a joy stick.

You can find Ravensburger games and puzzles at lots of places, including Amazon, Target and Walmart. The MSRP for Bora Bora is $49.99.
