Reviews

An excellent game!

"A great family game! The components are quality. The instructions take some time to figure out, so account for extra time on your first game. But once the instructions are understood, it’s a fast and fun race to best your opponents. This game stays near the top of our most-played pile."

Great Intro to Game Mechanics for Young Gamers

"Honga features amazing artwork a captivating underutilized theme with a kids-friendly introduction to action selection, set collection and worker placement. If your kids are younger than 8 you can make a house rule to keep the game length within their attention span. Most components are managed on player dashboards so kids gain experience tracking their own resources. Plus you get Mammoth meeples! 🦣"

Best intro to REAL board games for a kid

"This is probably one of the best "I want to introduce my kid to real board games" you can buy. Basically a worker placement game were cards present you with limited options, which teach kids about action efficiency. Good game presented with a simple rules set and clear goals. Easy for kids, but still enough for an adult to AP over."

— Joe T. (4/5)

Very fun

"Overall all this game was fun to play with my kiddos. Once we figured out how play which honestly we kinda struggled but once we started playing it was a total blast. Definitely recommend for the older kids."

Not just for kids!

"The youngest person I've played this with is 24 yrs old, however, you can play with kids young as 8 (per the box). Plays up to 5 players, which is nice. Easy to learn, fun to play, with a variety of things to do for scoring, an excellent family-weight game. It's become a family favorite. Highly recommended for any skill level board gamer!"

— Jennifer P. (5/5)

Great family fun

"I received Honga from tryitsampling in exchange for my honest feedback. Game was super easy to learn and more importantly fun to play. Components are very nice and the decisions in the game are varied enough to keep you wanting to replay the game over and over. It was a lot of fun to play with the family."

— Bethg1982 (5/5)

Good family fun

"I like that this game can be set up so quickly! It is appropriate for those ages 8 and above. It is most definitely a game the entire family can play. The instructions are easy to follow and the colorful game board is a nice touch. We had fun playing this as a family!"

— Jennifer (5/5)

Bring on the Family Fun!

"This was a great addition to our family game night. My 9 year old daughter really enjoyed the game once we all understood the rules. We've played it several times since the first time and will continue to do so."

Nice little strategy game

"Good strategy game for beginners and older children. Love how it keeps both old and young entertained and engaged. Very good instruction booklet that made it easy to understand how to play. Children easily understood as well."

— Tiny151 (4/5)

Very fun!

"This game set is very thoughtful - the pieces and game board is made of good material - it’ll last! What we (adults) like about it a lot is that the game pieces are in its place and it’s a faster game (compare to monopoly!). The kids always enjoy every game and wants to play again and again. This game was easy to learn and very fun to play - this is definitely one of our top board game on family night."
