Mindware Klondice Game
(Mindware $29.99)
Our testers totally enjoyed Klondice; players roll a handful of dice to claim credits and collect gold rush profits. It’s a game of chance with some strategy involved in how you play the dice you roll. The rewards are won, depending how you choose to place your dice on the mine cart board holder. The banker is the player who does the serious math of handing out and making exchanges with the Gold coin credits. Our lead tester found putting the “mountain” tower together a challenge, but once it was built, he loved how the dice went into a chute on the mountain and tumbled out without rolling off the table. Game comes with Dice Mountain tower, 12 double-sided game boards, mine cart game board holder, gold credits, banker token, 35 gold dust dice, a storage bag for game accessories, and instructions. Playtime is about 20 minutes. For 2-6 players. 8 and up.
