Tenpenny Parks Board Game | Build The Best Theme Park | Beautiful Amusement Park Strategy Worker Placement Family Euro Game | 45-75 Minutes for 1-4 Players Ages 14+ by Thunderworks Games

We've been looking for a board game that features roller coasters but is also fun and accessible. This one is beautifully produced and has solid mechanisms. The gameplay does depend on other players at the table, you have to formulate a unique path to victory or else you'll be constantly be competing for spots on the board with other players. In my opinion, this is a fun type of challenge and the theme and artwork make it even better. There are lots of cute details, like the ride cards flipping over to be posters advertising the rides, and the rides only having a name on one side, so you can imagine your own names for rides. Highly recommend!

Great game with terrific table presence! It’s a clever mixture of worker placement and tile placement, with a great theme (carnival/ amusement park building. ). Only flaw might be longevity. So far, the strategies to victory are pretty obvious. Hence the 4/5 stars.

We just opened this for Christmas and discovered there are only two of the three gray Worker meeples. It is too late to return but is it possible to get the missing Worker piece?

TenPenny is an easy game to learn but can be a bit stressful because every single move counts and it’s very tight. (Especially when you’re playing against Becky - the virtual player from the solo mode). It may take awhile to set-up/take-down with all the different components which are all of great quality. This game is more like a filler game but it’s not as fun as Roller Coaster Tycoon.

This game is fine, but it is very light and not much to it. It's kind of a mix of Barenpark and Fun Fair. It's basically worker placement but the spots you can go are very limited and not very interesting. You either build an attraction, clear some trees, expand your land, or get some more money. Pretty basic with not much strategy. The tracks along the bottom are pretty slight and don't do much for the game outside of giving one point or the first player component to the other person. The components are all nice, thick cardboard but I can't help but think this game could be cheaper if they used a little thinner cardboard. It's pretty pricey for a entry-level game with not much strategy involved. I'd hold off until the price drops as it surely will. I don't see this game being a huge hit despite the buzz around it.

This is a great game. It plays fast and tight. The 5 months/rounds come really fast so you do not have a lot of time to make decisions. The theme and art and look of the game are fantastic. You get high quality components. The rule books is well written and this game gets to the table fast. There are a lot of decisions to make: build, influence tracks, taking out ads, end game goals, but not a lot of time. Despite all the components this is a very fast game that is over before you know it. The game looks bigger than it is. My only issue is that the set up can take a bit of time. There are a lot of pieces to set up. The game looks heavier than it is. Really fun game with great components and theme.

Tenpenny Parks is essentially "Rollar Coaster Tycoon 2: The Board Game". If you have any nostalgia for those old PC games, I highly recommend checking this game out, it plays very similarly. It plays in about 30-40 minutes with an experienced table, and is one of our new game night staples. It shares a common theme with other top boardgames such as Wingspan, where each player is working on optimizing their own board with a pool of common resources. Since there's no cutthroat PvP, you can totally come in last place and still have a good time. The replayability is great as there's so many different viable strategies and which ones work best change each game, we've seen several totally different ones win. It comes with a lot of game peices, but they provide a bunch of little bags to neatly wrangle them in. Tenpenny Parks is a well-designed, well-thought out, well-executed game with a blast of nostalgia. Very impressive from such a small publisher.

Thoroughly enjoy this game from its gorgeous artwork to its strategic gameplay. The puzzle aspect of non adjacent tile placement makes for a challenging and fun experience of building your theme park. There are many strategies woven together seamlessly that makes you really think what you should do each round. Very high replay value as you try to use different strategies each time you play. Highly recommend this to add to your game shelf!

Bought as gift so I haven't played yet. Great feedback from family I bought it for. All really enjoy playing they would recommend.

Thematisch sehr stimmig. Freizeitpark ist ja eh genau meins, von daher bin ich diesbezüglich schon sehr angetan. Leider ist das Spiel auf englisch. Aber dank BGG konnte ich das deutsche Regelwerk ausdrucken und dem Kasten hinzufügen. Das Spiel selbst ist, bis auf die Zielkarten (welche aber dank Bilddarstellung ebenfalls recht verständlich sind), sprachneutral. Wir versuchen über 5 Runden den besten Freizeitpark zu bauen. Der Spielmechanismus ist eine Kombination aus Worker Placement und Puzzle Elemente. In jeder Runde setzen wir unsere 3 Arbeiter ein um aus folgenden Aktionen zu wählen: - Attraktion kaufen - Zusatzgeld bekommen - Bäume entfernen - Zusatzbaufläche erwerben - Servicebude platzieren. Die Attraktionen, sowie die Servicebuden werden direkt in unserem Park verbaut. Hierbei gilt, die Plättchen dürfen sich NICHT bzw. maximal NUR Ecke an Ecke berühren!!! Was mal eine erfrischende Abwechslung zu anderen Puzzle Legeregeln aufweißt. Die Servicebuden können entweder einen dauerhaften Einkommensbonus oder sofortige Schritte auf der Emotionsleiste bringen. Deckt man beim platzieren der Plättchen ein Bonusfeld ab, erhält man diesen Bonus direkt. Es gibt 3 Emotionsleisten. Wer auf der jeweiligen Leiste am weitesten vorne liegt, kann am Ende jeder Runde zwischen einem Extrabonus = Ein zusätzlicher Arbeiter, Startspielerschaufel, Geld Oder Siegpunkte wählen. Entscheidet sich der Spieler auf der entsprechenden Leiste für die Siegpunkte und GEGEN die Startspielerschaufel, wird diese in der nächsten Runde im Uhrzeigersinn weitergereicht. Am Ende des Spiels erhält man zusätzliche Siegpunkte, für jeden seiner Markierungssteine der das hintere Drittel der Emotionsleiste erreicht hat. Diesbezüglich ist eine Linie auf dem Spielbrett eingezeichnet. Zu Beginn jeder neuen Runde darf der Startspieler das Karussell drehen. Hierdurch verändert er die Preise der einzelnen Attraktionen. Im Bestfall natürlich zu seinem Gunsten, da einige Preise dadurch erhöht und andere reduziert werden. Wer nach insgesamt 5 Runden die meisten Siegpunkte sammeln konnte gewinnt. Mir gefällt das Spiel sehr gut. Eigentlich hätte es 5 Sterne verdient. Jedoch gibt es 1 Stern Abzug, da es nicht auf deutsch erhältlich ist. Was dank Internet aber kein Problem darstellt. Außerdem ist der Preis doch recht hoch für ein Spiel welches schon seit Jahren auf dem Markt ist. Last but not least sind die Karten/Puzzleteile ja sogar die Bäume recht begrenzt. Etwas mehr Material und Auswahlmöglichkeiten wären schon irgendwie nett gewesen...
