Description
Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk and Black Widow have moved onto the boards of games you know from childhood. Board Game Collection - Marvel Avengers combines four game boards in one box with Slovenian rules for 34 games and variants. Besides Ludo, snakes and ladders, Nine Men's Morris and draughts, the rules include games you play with just the dice from the box, paper and a pencil.
How the games in the collection are played
In Ludo, you move your four pieces around the board to your home squares. When you land on a square with an opponent's piece, they have to send it back to the start. In snakes and ladders, you roll the die and race to the last square, while the arrows on the action squares carry you up or send you back.
Nine Men's Morris and draughts are games for two. In Nine Men's Morris, you place and move counters to get three in a row, and for every mill you take one of your opponent's counters. In draughts, you move your counters across the dark squares and jump over your opponent's. In dice games such as Yatzy and Chicago, you roll up to three times and decide after each roll which dice to keep.
Why you'll love it
- One box holds more than 30 games and variants, including anti-draughts, where you win by being the first to run out of counters.
- For Ludo, the rules suggest optional extras, such as three rolls when none of your pieces are on the board.
- Most dice games need only dice, paper and a pencil, so you can play them anywhere.
- The Avengers on the boards bring children closer to the games their parents have known since they were little.
Who the collection is for
The collection is for two to four players aged 5 and up. Nine Men's Morris and draughts are for two, Ludo and snakes and ladders are played with two to four, and the dice games with two or more. The rules are simple and quick to explain, even to younger children. Some dice games involve adding up and writing down scores, so the youngest play them with help from their parents.
What might you not like?
Most of the games in the collection are well-known classics, so it may not be the best fit if you are looking for a new game with original rules. Luck plays a big part in the dice games.
