Emocionante. Me encanta la mecánica de mayorías y la incertidumbre de las erupciones volcánicas. Lo malo de este juego es que es muy difícil ver el número de "puertas" o "pasos" entre losetas porque son muy pequeñas, lo que te puede jugar una mala pasada y tener que rectificar la jugada.

It took me almost 10 years since I started gaming to try this classic, but it was absolutely worth it. Tikal plays with relatively easy rules, but offers great depth, looks really great as the game progresses, and allows realy nasty movements. The action point mechanism is a very Kramer&Kiesling mark, and here it works in an absolutely great way. Mixed with a touch of majorities and auction, and you get a classic. Just great, it deserves its fame.

Juego muy entretenido y sobre todo vistoso. No es nada complicado, una vez jugada la primera ronda se entiende facil el mecanismo. Aunque al principio se siente uno sobrecogido porque no sabe que hacer con tan pocos puntos de accion, y la sensacion de que tu exploradores van sn ton ni son por el tablero es muy posible. Uno del contras del juego es el tiempo de analisis-paralisis de cada jugador. Aunque hay alguna variante para evitar un poco esto. Divertido juego aunque puede que no convenza a todos.
