kia ora koutou and welcome to Ganz schon Clever in about three minutes it has a solo mode it's a game for wonderful players playing time is short and it's a pretty simple game look you roll dice mark off boxes and stuff happens there's not much more to say about the core game asides from you should grab a score sheet a pin and start rolling some dice the game ends after 4 rounds of play for 4 players 5 for 3 players and 6 for 2 or solo at this time the winner is the player with the most points and each part of the scoring sheet has its own scoring system dice this game is all about the dice roll and right dice rolls indicate which parts of your scoresheet to mark off player turn each full round of play has a turn where each player is the active player if you are the current actor player mark off the current turn number and claim the bonus below this bonus is a re-roll so circle the re-roll area on your sheet when you use this re-roll fill it in each turn you'll roll the dice three times but can use re-rolls choose a die to keep and place it on your sheet mark off the matching part of your scoresheet based on the die you chose in this case a three in the yellow box place all dice rolled of a lower value onto the silver platter you cannot use them again this turn repeat this process two more times placing any remaining dice on the platter note that the white dye can be used as any other color so here we use it as a yellow once the active player is done the passive players choose one die from the platter and use it on their sheet you can use a plus one power up to use a die again here we use it on the orange six mark that you have used the plus one up each area has different rules the yellow box scores points for columns and gives
you bonuses on rows completing the top row lets us place a free mark in any blue area the blue area lets you mark up an area that matches the total of the white and blue dice this can be done even if one of those dice is on the platter blue grants bonuses for completed lines the next three areas give bonuses once you mark off the matching box green requires a die of a value equal to or higher than shown on the sheet orange can have any value in it but some spaces are marked with multipliers and purple the next star you place must be higher than the last until you place a 6 when it resets when the game is over score it yellow gets points for completed columns blue and green for the number of areas filled and orange and purple for the total dice values in their rows finally for every fox icon you have marked off on your sheet score points equal to your lowest score in any other category in this case yellow total lows up for your final score that's the end of the game why would you like this game gotta show clever is one of the best games on the market for what it sets out to do and that's to be a short to play low complexity puzzle game with a huge amount of replayability and that is the core of the game and who it will appeal to if you like short simple puzzles that you can do again and again this could be for you and in a way it shares more in common with sudoku than it does with many other board games and there is something quite satisfying about marking the sheet off connecting all the lines and getting those bonuses and really it's a relaxing little puzzle in a box and doesn't pretend to be anything else the best thing about this game is its phone app i played that an awful lot however it might
just be a me thing but i like some roland rights for solo play but don't care for them at all as group games as fun as the puzzle is to play in a group environment it feels like everyone is just doing their homework like this and want more while there is twice as clever and clever cubed the sequels to this game and for a far more intense roll and right try hadrian's wall Ganz schon Clever it's a phone app in a box a reminder that three minute board games does not do paid content support us on patreon and if you enjoyed this video like share and subscribe to the channel
