In That's Pretty Clever, you choose dice to enter into matching colored areas on your score sheet, creating chain-scoring opportunities. Dice you don’t use can be utilized by others, keeping all players engaged. The interplay of dice rolling, re-rolling, and locking creates a dynamic and strategic experience.
Who Is This Game For?
This game targets enthusiasts aged 8 and up who enjoy tactical dice games. With a playtime of about 30 minutes, it suits short gaming sessions. Some familiarity with dice and entry games helps but rules are accessible.
How It Works
You roll six colored dice and select one to mark in the corresponding section of your score sheet. Dice with lower values can be used in other areas. Re-rolling and locking dice are key mechanics that expand and limit your options, forming a clever engine-building system with each turn.
