About the game

What you do in a play session

If you enjoy the vibe of 'Ganz schön clever' and 'Doppelt so clever', get ready for another round of fun with Clever hoch drei! This game brings the same addictive essence, but with a new twist: brand-new categories for you to master, and some of them challenge you to use multiple dice at once. The mission is clear: choose your dice wisely, place the numbers in the right colored areas, and build scoring combos that would make a chess master envious. But hey, don't underestimate the dice you leave behind! They are as crucial as the ones you use, as each die smaller than the chosen one can be another player's chance to score. This keeps everyone engaged, even when it's not your turn to play. It's that kind of game that makes you say 'just one more turn' late into the night, perfect for those who like to plan and optimize every move. With simple components and quick-to-learn rules, Clever hoch drei is a great choice for playing solo or introducing new friends to the world of more strategic 'roll-and-write' games. The replayability is high, ensuring that each game is a new puzzle to be solved. If you're looking for a satisfying mental challenge, with a touch of luck and plenty of strategy, this game is for you!
