Reviews
Pioneers (Major Fun): “It’s easy to learn, easy to teach and each time you play, you’ll discover new layers of depth and fun by charting a different path, literally.

Ilôs (The Game Shelf): “It's great for a thinky game in a short time frame, but for me, I have been stung by some of the randomness in the game and probably don't have the heart to try it with more players and see if it solves some of the tile drawing problems for me.

Sakura (Nerd Much): “Sakura is simple and silly — it might not be a deep game, but it’s still a wonderful design from Reiner Knizia worth picking up.
