A genial Distractions, varied and entertaining family game ...

Dice Mania is designed for 2-6 players, ages 12 and comes with 133 diverse cubes and 100 job cards to the player. At the beginning the game board is prepared, and the cube sort (in addition to the board or in the appropriate trays in box), players seek out their character and make them available on the Start box and make up who goes first.

The game board is divided into three regions, which are run through the players to target 2 times each. First there is the blue region, which stands for "ACTION", the yellow area is the "toss" and the red region the "QUIZ".

The starting field is in the blue region and so the players begin take turns with the blue object deck - which fits very well to warm up ^^. The tasks here usually require that the / the players with certain dice types certain results often under time pressure (the supplied hourglass trickles through only 30sec.) Must achieve. This may be the case that in turn must all roll with the 5 poker dice and who erwürfelt first two pairs, wins the task and honor to fields advance in the game path. Very creative and banal ^^ is a task card that allows anyone to head a field that has a tattoo and this also showing them off.

Where a player as in the yellow region, it is necessary to solve tasks that require dexterity or bring Knobel deposits. For example, you have to take of each cube and places a stack them standing in his left hand on one foot and wobble-free for some time keep ^^ - not easy, because here, too 4- to 20-sided dice are in! For fine motor skills are then also the MINI (!!!) - dice ^^ thought if thereof 10 want to be stacked within the time.
But there are also tasks that work with the letter cubes, so you have eg 4 from 6 diced letters within the running time, these 6 words, and much more.

In the red zone Finally, quizzes turn. Here rolls the active player then the pertinent question of the quiz card must match the color cube and the left neighbor read. There from all typical quizzes known divisions querbeet - from actor-Ratsch & Expert Questions about Geographic to Knowledge to sports and other (who rolls black, the color may choose to question).

The tasks are across the board funny and challenging and varied enough that everyone is times with a task off the / her not so close to his and then again one receives that easily goes from the hand - all very balanced. Chance and skill tasks are balanced with knowledge and fun tasks.
The cubes are all produced very valuable - no points to engraving or color errors - and especially surprisingly different. The pure number cube with 4 to 20 pages supplemented by simple dice and Buchstabenwürfel, added a Picture Cubes (usually used for character or narrative tasks), Poker Dice, MINI Cube (match head size), color cube and a dice cubes ^^ ( greater transparency eyes cubes, wearing a pretty little blue number cube in itself).
The game at the end, mechanics, types of tasks and solutions, optics, equipment and simple set of rules makes every occupation size consistently fun and can also be quite accomplished with younger players. Here is the quiz questions and some riddles are simply understated simplified or adapted and already has the entire extended family fun!

Strong buy recommendation for anyone who only halfway can do something with dice and are not afraid to master so fun tasks! (^^ Also suitable for all pure cube collector)
