Funny game - great for casual gamers

I must admit, when I looked at the list of nominated games to "Game of the Year" and the game returns, I thought this game only: "Betting - how stupid Not for us!" and went on to the next game of the list. On the Spielwiesn (game show) is then moved one of our players out, and the second time I thought "Oh no, not that!". We played it then screened (incl. Our children (8 and 10)), and we were all completely captivated ...

Indeed, it is initially for children a little difficult to understand what is important. Completely impressed by the cube pyramid they want initially only dice. The course does not lead to optimal results. But with a bit of strategy tips in the first few games they have understood it very quickly, to choose the right "tactics".

However, tactics is not just the main theme of the game, it's really not believe how changeable everything usually remains until the last train. A bit of "what if" and a little "good nose" paired with a bunch of luck make here the winner. Therefore, it is for hours of thinkers rather not the right game, more for fast makers.

Right unbelievable I always find, as this game up to eight players (!) - Of course, adults - completely under its spell, as all cheer and trembling, which die falls, which camel rises, descends or run to the finish.

Incidentally, I have also played there before with a 4-year-old neighbor boy while "babysitting" in simplified form (only cubes and verbally think that camel is probably the fastest The camel wins, none of the players..) - He loved it and has recently (no babysitting required) once again rang just with me and asked if we could play the game again ...

"Only" four star gets the game only because we do not have tollere (but then also more difficult) games in the cupboard, it must indeed be room for improvement. But for casual gamers who want to be a great strategist, but simply like to spend a fun hour with children or friends, the game is really great useful. Even if one is not on betting, as I do.
