Dad’s Review

This might actually be the world’s most perfect game. All you need are six dice and it offers endless fun. The object of the game is to push your luck to be the first to reach the target score so it naturally creates great moments of tension and elation. Even when it’s not your turn to roll the game is thoroughly engaging.

The mechanics allow for the leader to change quite regularly, with even the opportunity for the player in last place to get themselves into contention with a couple of good rolls. The scoring rules take a little bit of explaining to the kids initially but after a few rolls it all makes sense.

Game play, mixed with low cost, makes this an absolute winner for me. In fact, I’m sure you probably have six dice lying around from existing games so you can start playing straight away.

Lads Review

4 year old – Likes to play, well…. he just likes to roll the dice and doesn’t worry too much about the score.

7 year old – Gets fully involved and absolutely loves it. We particularly like playing this game as a family because it acts as a maths exercise with all the adding up. Although the gambling element could be a bit questionable I guess.
