A game for the whole family: from the great-grandmother to grandson

For game include: A dice cup, five dice and a scoring table. The dice show numbers instead of animal heads (duck, lion, mouse, cat, dog, elephant), which also all have their own color for better distinction. Is rolled in the cup. Everyone has to roll the dice in turn always three attempts certain symbols / combinations. These are entered on the block who has the most points wins. The following combinations it is necessary to roll the dice: Always so many of the same animals as possible, a 3, two pairs, a full house (two and three identical symbols), a road (all the symbols differently) and Yahtzee (all the icons equal).

Essentially, the game is a simplified form of the original. Instead of numbers, there are just animals, the Scorepad works with easy to understand icons and the dice cup is not round, but very narrow and oval, so that little hands can hold it well.

Fun: Since a good deal of luck with the dice is one of them can compete as equal enemies against each other children and adults. Me as an adult, it is simply not care if I cube with figures or animals and if so the little ones can be there to me this stripped down version also quite. Our son loves the game.

Durability: The cup is made of plastic and very robust. The cubes are made of wood because I see no flaw. Sure, the block is made of paper, but otherwise there is hardly solvable. May buy more to block the well-not when it is full or breaks down, however, can be found on the manufacturer's website to download the file and then print it. The box itself is made of metal. The lid keeps perfectly safe on the little box, so it fits perfectly as a travel game in any handbag and belongings are stored safely.

Pedagogical value: to identify and assign animal symbols. The numbers up to five. First tactical considerations, fine motor skills at dice. If you want to play without adult additionally: write numbers, count to about 40 microns.

Conclusion: entertaining, fun, practical. The grandmother's familiar (at least similar) from before and the kids understand the rules quickly. Depending on their age they need just more or less aid (which is still missing, which makes more sense to gather ...) From about 4 years they are but most already hinbekommen alone. Recommended!
