Pros
- The game offers a clear objective of collecting relics and escaping.
- Setup involves shuffling and placing various tiles and tokens.
- Explorers can move through clearings or dense jungle, with different action costs.
- New tiles are placed adjacent to explorers as they move, expanding the jungle.
- Special tiles like quicksand and poison ivy present unique challenges.
- Feature boards (mountain, cave, river) add distinct areas with specific entry requirements.
- Various supply tokens can be acquired and used to mitigate dangers or facilitate movement.
- Relics on feature boards have curses, limiting collection but allowing others to claim them later.
Cons

- Panther encounters result in evacuation from the jungle and loss of items.
