Mark910Yes Fun game. Nice artwork. Like Yahtzee on steriods - but much more fun than Yahtzee, because main gameplay is about getting different power cards that allow you to alter your die rolls in advantageous ways. The end goal is to get at least seven of a kind, which of course would be unheard of in Yahtzee.
shawndumas910Some The instructions and iconography are a bit hard but they will have a good, clean, blast. I relly love throwing all those dice! No half naked women, gore, cursing, or morbidity.
guantanamo88Yes  
Norwood810Yes This is a really cool dice game in which you build a stable of characters that lets you modify your dice rolls to claim further characters, leading up to someone eventually rolling seven-of-a-kind and claiming the King. It is a simple mechanic, but deciding which characters to use, how to use them, and which characters to go for can involve some advanced thinking. Kids younger than the recommended age can play (roll the dice), but you will probably have to help them significantly in making these decisions. For youth and adults, however, it is quick and lots of fun!
fuzzyfife710Yes A dice rolling feast but with all of the possible benefits that can be attained by acquiring the correct cards this game always has interesting turns as players try to increase the number of dice that they roll in order to eventually get to be KING.
RPardoe79Yes Dice fest but incremental as early rolls gain powers that can be used to advantage in later rolls. This dependency and planning requires a bit more thought hence the older age recommendation. Certainly a small enough game, but might be a bit too dry of a theme to appeal to kids. If it is viewed as a planning game with dice, might work a bit better.
