Mariposas: Purple Butterflies Promo Pack

Every spring, millions of monarch butterflies leave Mexico to spread out across eastern North America. Every fall, millions fly back to Mexico. However, no single butterfly ever makes the round trip.

Mariposas is a game of movement and set collection that lets players be part of this amazing journey.

Mariposas is played in three seasons. In general, your butterflies try to head north in spring, spread out in summer, and return south in fall. The end of each season brings a scoring round, and at the end of fall, the player with the most successful family of butterflies — i.e., the most victory points — wins the game.

How light is too light?

Mariposas is 'multiplayer solitaire' - everyone does their own thing and nothing anyone does has any effect whatsoever on anyone else's turn or final outcome. The game has some cool/interesting educational elements about the life-cycle of butterflies, but that isn't enough substance to keep the game interesting (at least in my play group). The game looks great, has high quality components, and is easy to teach with play coming in at about an hour, so it might be something to play with children.

Wingspan it is not....

The game is simple to teach and on the surface it looks rather simplistic to play, but the decision making for what you are going to do each round, especially leading up to the last round is not. The game plays relatively quickly even at larger player counts. I find its pretty good to play at a two player count, I haven’t found a player count that really is the sweet spot for the game. Your strategy on how you will move up the board will change with more players, I find the way you approach things is much different with two players or four players.

Pretty Chill Game that got intense quick

My mum and I played this one evening and were surprised how interested we both became in the life cycle of butterflies. And the mad rush to get to Mexico in the final round is such an awesome change of pace. Having the different optional goals also make the game fun and forces you to change your strategy each game. By the end my mother had proclaimed herself the 'mighty monarch' and we were laughing so hard... about butterflies... butterflies...
