Clever 4Ever

Clever 4Ever is a fun and engaging dice game that builds on the mechanics of its predecessors, Ganz schön clever, Doppelt so clever, and Clever hoch drei. I was excited to try this new iteration, having enjoyed the first game in the series. While it's definitely more complex than the original, I found the additional categories and scoring opportunities to be a welcome challenge. The ability to +/- the die face is a nice addition that allows for more strategic mitigation of luck. I agree with other reviewers that this game offers a lot more variety and replayability than the first one.

One thing I did find a bit frustrating was the lack of included markers for playing the game. I understand the environmental concern, but providing a small golf pencil with a note to share seems a bit cheap, especially for a game with a higher price point. It's not a dealbreaker, but it did leave me feeling a bit annoyed.

Overall, I would definitely recommend Clever 4Ever to fans of the series. If you're new to the games, I would suggest starting with the original "That's Pretty Clever" and working your way up. But if you're looking for a more strategic and challenging experience, Clever 4Ever is a fantastic choice.
