At first its a nice board game funny i liked the idea then played more and found out this is shit be cos of the shity dice and the unfairness
Reviews for "Graduates and Gorillas"
At first glance, its a nice board design and unusual but funny premise. But as I played more, i found the gorillas get a big advantage, reducing the fun.
The game seems unbalanced, needs tweaking. As of 8/6 the current stats, 197 grad wins, gorillas 376 show a clear advantage to cpu Bristowe. I suggest treating the gorilla icon (on a grads turn) as one gorilla move once all 4 are out. The grads getting thwarthed by a whammy of missed turns AND moving all 4 gorillas is painful. Another idea to balance it out is to fix the hammer, which relies on the current wielder to get captured to change hands. Letting any grad in the gold space acquire it, or let it be transferred between 2 close grads as a turn are suggestions. I also notice no one has captured 3 or 4 gorillas in one smash, the AI only seems to support sending one or two gorillas at your graduates, the others travel aimlessly. I really like the idea, just a few difficulty issues to address. I hope you get your idea to Lego's attention.
it's a really good game and i almost killed him without capturing a monkey then the game froze :( fun game anyway
Not a bad idea.... i support it...
Not a bad idea. However, missed turns are far too common. I spent ages waiting for the gorillas to come down from both stairs as I couldnt hit them with the hammer. New gorillas ALWAYS teleported bak to the top 2 spots and nce again blocked the stairs. see no reason why you make the die roll take so long, it just wastes time. After 10 minutes, those damn gorillas still wouldnt get off the stairs and then it crashed.
