About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey board game enthusiasts! Ready for another round of cleverness and dice? Clever 4Ever arrives to expand the acclaimed 'Clever' series, bringing the same addictive essence we already know from Ganz schön clever, Doppelt so clever, and Clever hoch drei, but with a fresh twist: brand new scoring categories for you to puzzle over! If you enjoy a good optimization and combo challenge, get ready. The objective is simple, but the execution... oh, that's the fun part! Your mission is to strategically choose dice and fill in the corresponding colored areas on your score sheet. The magic happens when you manage to create those chain-scoring opportunities that make the points explode! But hey, it's not just about what you pick. The dice you decide NOT to use are just as important as the ones you do, because any die with a lower value than your chosen one can be utilized by other players. This keeps everyone engaged in the game, thinking about their own moves and those of their opponents, ensuring constant interaction and high tension until the last die is rolled. It's a 'roll-and-write' that makes you think with every decision, perfect for anyone who loves a numerical puzzle with a dash of luck and a lot of strategy.

Like any dice game, there's an element of luck. But the cleverness lies in how you manage the dice results, choosing what to use, what to re-roll, and what to leave for others. Strategy minimizes luck!
