Reviews Roundup
Yeah! We've made the 16k mark thanks to all of your support and a review in Wired.com today. I see us hitting the 20k stretch goal if everyone continues to promote the game - and esp. if we convert more of you $1 people. In that vein here is a list of some of the reviews that have come out about Tahiti so far....
Video Review:
"I've played this with my Wife and my Dad and Kids and they all really enjoyed it too."

Euro-Style Board Game for the Whole Family - Chuck Lawton
"I can’t wait to play Tahiti more with my kids. It’s a fantastic entry into the world of Euro-style board games with a rule set that makes some room for tinkering for their level. We loved it and I think you will too."
"I’ve also tried out the print-and-play version, and liked it enough to back for a full copy as well. It’s a terrific game and the mechanism of drawing cubes out of a bag lends itself to a really fascinating ebb and flow of resources."

Tahiti – Kickstarter Board Game - Sea Monster Entertainment | Retail Store
"Honestly, I wasn’t going to pledge for any more games for a while but after playing this I HAD NO CHOICE! Yes, it’s that good."

Umbrella Drinks Not Included - Benny Sperling
"I think Tahiti hits the mark for being a solid gateway game and presents some interesting decisions at that level."

Tahiti in Columbus - A review of the PnP Version - Ken Grazier

Tahiti - a Kickstarter Review - Jeff Kayati
"Tahiti delivers on what it aims to be. An enjoyable gateway game to the pick-up and deliver genre."

Very good to hear man. Just got done completing my pnp version of the game using boardgamecrafters.com for additional components and will be soon trying it out with some friends in my local game club and store.
