Hey All. Quick post to see if anyone has any experience of playing **Fast Sloths** by Friedemann Friese and would have an opinion to share?

Usually at Christmas we’ll get a board game for our kid as part of his Christmas gift. He is mad about sloths and generally loves anything that features them, but he also plays quite a lot of games. So while the theme would go a long way, it still needs to be a good game if it’s going to get played regularly.

We play a few race games already, Quest for El Dorado, Jamaica, even some Automobiles. We don’t have as many Pick up and deliver games, except perhaps Flash Point: Fire Rescue. But he enjoys all of the above.

It’s rare that there’ll be more than the 3 of us playing a game together, and the usual number would be just 2 of us. BGG feedback seems to be that it needs higher player counts to shine.

So if anyone has an opinion on it, I’d be grateful to hear it. Cheers!

I have no opinion on it, but Mark from Board Game Barrage spoke about it on a podcast recently iirc. I’ll try to find the link

Nice one, that’s not a podcast I listen to so I’ll definitely check it out and see what they thought. 👍
