About this board game

Welcome to the captivating world of ‘That’s Pretty Clever!’, a board game that promises to stimulate your mind and challenge your strategic skills. This game is more than just a pastime, it’s a battle of wits, foresight, and strategy.

The game doesn’t have a traditional theme or setting, instead it takes place in an abstract universe. It’s a dice-rolling game that features a unique scoring system and encourages players to think several steps ahead. It’s all about making the best possible use of your rolls and your opponents’ rolls.

The core mechanics of the game are simple yet deep. In each round, players take turns rolling six dice, each of a different color. After rolling, a player must select one of the dice and mark off a corresponding box on their score sheet. The catch is that the dice must be of equal or higher value than the previous one chosen, and any dice of lower value are passed to the other players for their use. This mechanic creates a tense and challenging decision-making process with every roll.

What makes ‘That’s Pretty Clever!’ unique is its ingenious scoring system. Each color of dice corresponds to a different scoring section on your sheet, and each section has its own rules for scoring. For example, the blue dice might score based on the number of boxes you’ve marked off in a row, while the green dice might score based on the total value of all green dice you’ve chosen. This system adds a layer of strategy as you must decide not only which dice to choose, but also how to balance your scoring across the different sections.

Another distinguishing feature is the game’s use of “combo” scoring. If you manage to mark off certain combinations of boxes, you can earn bonus points or extra actions. This encourages players to think strategically about their choices and adds an exciting element of risk and reward.

In conclusion, ‘That’s Pretty Clever!’ is a game that challenges your strategic skills and pushes you to think on your feet. It’s a game that’s easy to learn, but with its deep and intricate scoring system, it will keep you coming back for more. Whether you’re a seasoned gamer or a beginner looking for a fun challenge, ‘That’s Pretty Clever!’ is sure to provide hours of entertaining and thought-provoking gameplay.
