Description
High Score is an ingenious dice game with unique challenges. Turning over a new challenge card tells players how to score points this round and how you can re-roll your dice. Will even numbers score 0 points this round? What effect will the vortex have this round?
After the first player finishes their turn, the other players can attempt to beat their score, but risk too much and you may come away empty-handed. Whoever has the most points after seven rounds wins.

- this is where I talk about all of the games that I have been playing over the last couple of weeks this episode covering the second half of July 2024
- this one you can add worker placement spots as the board Goes On by Building uh new buildings along this track getting better yields and better Rewards or conversion rates as you go
- I do think this game is very welld designed I think it's a classic and almost like a Hall of Fame Style game
- worker placement games and especially Resource Management ones where you're converting cubes into other things or building stuff um those kind of games have dried up for me I don't enjoy them too much um kis I think is the best of them but still I think this spark is starting to wne
- Devon uh is really hitting home with me at the moment I'm loving this one
- you have to be hyper alert otherwise you can be definitely struck by a move like that and that will completely paralyze you and hinder your chances of winning
- I'm loving my abstract strategy games at the moment definitely on the lookout for um the great ones
- Lovely little kind of family plus weight Style game
- I think the game is very smart very um sharp
- still I think this is a lovely family weight game tragically overlooked and I think the best of the matchi Coro Style of games out there
- no not too many but still a good spread of uh you know heavy to uh you know Gateway plus style and pure fill of games and even some uh simple but comp not complex but deep abstract games such as Devon
