What is Ganz Schön Clever? Think, Yahtzee on steroids. You roll six different coloured dice and each dice corelates to a different section of your score card. You can see in this picture to the right that there are yellow, blue, green, orange, and purple sections. You roll the dice and choose one die at a time and put it onto your scorecard. Each section works a little differently. In the yellow section, you cross out the number you've rolled and you're trying to get mini bingos (4 in a row). This gives you points or benefits in other sections. The blue section works similarly except you add the blue die to the white (wild) die. Rather than scoring points for a getting a row, though, you get points for how many blue boxes you've checked off. When adding to the green section, the first number needs to be 1 or less, then 2 or less, 3 or less, etc., until you get to 6 and then it resets. The more of these you fill in, the more points you get. The orange row gives you whatever number you picked, plus a few spots that double. In the purple row, the number to the right needs to be greater than the one to the left. Once you get a 6, though, it resets and you can put any number next. You add these up as well.
If you zoom in on the picture you'll notice a bunch of little symbols. By filling in sections you can get bonuses that let you reroll, take more dice, or check off boxes in other sections. There is a lot to think about here!
We only had time to play one game in between the festivities and trying to supervise and feed children and puppies, but here is my final score sheet and score. Not a bad first score (178), but Jenn kicked my butt (she had like 219 I think?). I'm not a huge fan of abstract rolling type games (such as Yahtzee), but this one was fun. There is a definitely a lot more strategy and choice involved to get the best score possible. I would definitely give this one another roll! (ha ha)
