Watch “Nekojima Review - Does It Come Crashing Down?,” a board game review for Nekojima from BoardGameCo on BoardGameVideo.

BoardGameCo Ko-Fi (Exclusive Content) - https://ko-fi.com/boardgameco BoardGameCo Patreon (Exclusive Content) - https://bit.ly/3sKcAYf Instagram - https://bit.ly/39GvjNH -------------------------------------------- Channels I Recommend (Not a comprehensive list by any means) Professor Meg - http://bit.ly/3XKR1ol Devon Talks Tabletop - https://bit.ly/36HAr3l The Board Game Garden - https://bit.ly/495mdEO Room & Board - https://bit.ly/48ZeurF Thinker Themer - https://bit.ly/495mis6 -------------------------------------------- In Nekojima, “The Island of Cats” in Japan, an electricity network is developing to supply the various lively districts of the island. The installation of electric poles becomes more complex due to the narrowness of the territory and its curious population of cats strolling on the cables. Nekojima is a wooden game of skill and dexterity in which you have to keep an entire installation in balance. Players take turns placing or stacking denchuu — 電柱, or electrical poles — respecting the locations without any hanging cables touching. Be careful not to be the one to bring down the structure. This game requires reflection, concentration and skill. In competitive mode, the player who knocks down the structure loses. In cooperative mode, the goal is to go as far as possible.

For one reason or another these are just shy of perfect. Whether it's mechanics, length, brain burn whatever. 4.0 - This is where a game becomes recommended. Now I may or may not be in the mood, or even own it, especially considering other games. But a 4 is where we cross from good to great.3.5 - Really enjoyed, don't love it, will often lose out to better games, but there's a part of me that wants to own it/play it more. 3.0 - A good game, I enjoy playing it. But also if I never play it again I'm not losing any sleep over that. 2.5 - Wasn't the biggest fan. Wasn't the worst, but didn't feel like the best use of time. Would prefer not to play again but am willing to given the right circumstances. 2.0 - A game I don't want to play again. I'm not saying it isn't good, I'm saying I don't want to play it again regardless of circumstance. 1.5 - I did not like this game, do not want to play it, and think it's a fairly flawed game. 1.0 - I can't imagine rating a game this poorly ever. It would take something so abysmal I probably didn't get to even play it.
