Quicksand - Real Time Cooperative Board Game, Time Management, Deactivate Traps to Keep The Sand Timer Going, Ages 8+. 1-7 Players

Great game! Easy to learn and play, so much fun!

Great fun with friends. Love the strategy and the timing aspect which provides a dexterity flair to the game.

Always looking for co-op games to play with the kids, and this doesn't disappoint. I love the fact it's designed for more than 4 players, so many games just assume 4 people and limit themselves needlessly. This is easily played with 3 all the way up to the max 7, and as you'd guess at 7 it gets a little chaotic, but that's part of the fun. One thing I really liked is the inclusion of alternative ways to play. Sometimes these co-op games are too simple and you can easily get into a rut with them where winning gets too simple, especially playing with family where picking up on queues can be easier. With the alternative play paths, that is a little less likely. The game is visually very clean and that helps the learning curve not be steep or confusing. A wide range of ages has played with us successfully and we've kept playing, which with my kids is a pretty good sign the game is good.

Recently coming down from the heights of Kite I was worried this one would be too similar. But it really does stand on its own. We found the flipping forward mechanic to be much more engaging and appreciated the option to recover a drained timer. While it may start out feeling easy, I can assure you the later levers bring quite a challenge if you and your group are up for it. Definitely worth it for all the real time junkies out there like myself!

Fun game. Lots more strategy and cooperation needed than expected which adds to the challenge and the fun. Different kind of game which I appreciate.

Great little game with plenty of repayability. The fast pace nature of the real-time gameplay is light and exciting, with plenty to think about in a limited amount of time.

It's a GREAT game (coming from me as a collector). If you play just a couple levels and not like it, you haven't really felt what the game is capable of till you beat level 6 and it only gets better. When you beat level 6 you and you friends will feel a since of true accomplishment that no other game has ever given you. Yup you can thank me later fellow gamers.

My kids (pre-teen/teen) are split on how much they like this game, while I really enjoy it. Thankfully there is also a solo mode so I can play by myself, although the cooperative aspect works really well for players who enjoy this type of strategy game! The gameplay is really straight-forward. Sand timers are flipped and moved around the board, with the goal to get all of them across the line while the sand is still active. In some ways this is a speed game, but it’s more about strategic timing than going extra fast, since the timers can all be in different places, and flipping them too soon is just as bad as being too slow. The multiple difficulty levels bring new challenges, and there is also variability with setting up the track colors/shapes in a different random order each time, and the cards and choices made each turn. It seems like the game would be really simple, but it has a good amount of challenge, and I’ve actually lost a fair number of games!

Ero alla ricerca di un gioco collettivo che fosse facile, divertente e coinvolgente. Eccolo!! Il gioco è semplice ben spiegato, una volta fatto un giro di prova il divertimento è assicurato. Testato prima in solitario (si può anche giocare da soli) per capire il funzionamento, poi im compagnia in sette. I livelli sono già settati sul foglio ma ovviamente se ne possono creare a proprio piacimento. Le discussioni e le risate non sono sicuramente mancate. Consigliato a chi cerca un gioco facile e collettivo.

Le jeu est fun et les partoes rapides, mais cet article n'a pas de règle en Français (non précisé sur la description). Boite et règle ne sont pas en Français, ce qui ne gêne pas car aucune carte ne possède de texte mais il faudra télécharger le pdf de la règle en Français pour tout bien comprendre.

El juego es divertido, pero los relojes son de materiales muy básicos y algo corrientes, a dos ya se les zafaron sus bases al jugarlo, uno al primer día y el otro al segundo, tocó pegarlos con cola loca, el juego es algo frenético y requiere de materiales más duraderos, ya me da miedo sacarlo a mesa :/

Sehr interessantes Spielkonzept, bei dem man hellwach sein muss. Nichts für Leute, die gerne länger nachdenken.

In questo gioco cooperativo (si è tutti contro il gioco) bisogna muovere diverse clessidre in un percorso formato da caselle (ogni casella ha un colore e un simbolo). Ogni giocatore a turno giocherà una carta raffigurante un colore o simbolo e dovrà fare avanzare sulla casella successiva le clessidre che si trovavano sulla casella del colore o del simbolo appena giocato. Ma oltre a farle avanzare le dovrà capovolgere Si vince se si fanno arrivare tutte le clessidre al termine del percorso prima che esauriscano il tempo.
