Come Sail Away Review: Worth Importing from OverSEAS?

Come Sail Away is a behemoth in Saashi standards. I could probably fit most of their games in the box. But does it play like a big box? Spoiler, it doesn't.

    Recurrring is finally published in Germany as "Swopp" from TOPP. Now you ca play up to 6 players. Also, not only 4-player partnership in Recurrring, it has 6-player team (3 vs 3) and partnership (2 vs 2 vs 2) and it is very intriguing. By the way, lower numbers are stronger than higher numbers in Recurring. So 3 doesn't beat 2 and pair of 7s don't beat pair of 6s. They are other way around.

    Hyaenidae is one of the smallest mammal families. It consists of only four subspecies that are distributed throughout the African continent, Central Asia, and India, and not all are particularly aggressive. In fact, other than the spotted African Hyena they tend to be rather cowardly, relying on hunting in large groups, and almost always avoiding attacking when on their own. So, they tend attack in number in order to feel safe and, on many occasions, they will retreat as quickly as possible when they feel under threat. So the theme is understandable - especially as it's an asian game designer probably more used to the striped Hyena which live as far as South Asia.
