That's Pretty Clever! review
I've been on a roll with dice games lately, and "That's Pretty Clever!" has quickly become a favorite. The description accurately captures the essence of the game: you choose your dice strategically, aiming for matching colored areas on your score sheet. This creates clever chain-scoring opportunities, and it's so satisfying to watch your points rack up.
What I love most is that the dice you *don't* use are just as important. Every die with a lower value than the one you chose can be used by other players, keeping everyone engaged throughout the game. This adds an interesting layer of strategy and keeps the competition tight.
The quality of the game itself is fantastic. The wooden dice feel great in your hand, the score sheets are plentiful, and the rulebook is clear and concise. It's clear that a lot of thought went into the design and production of this game.
I've had the pleasure of playing with family and friends, and everyone has been hooked. It's a great game for both casual and more experienced gamers, and it's certainly become our go-to choice for game night.
One tip I would offer is to watch a few playthroughs on YouTube before diving in. It helps to understand the scoring system and strategies involved. I also recommend laminating the score sheets for maximum play – you'll be playing this game a lot, believe me!
