About the game

What you do in a play session

Looking for the perfect gateway game to introduce little ones to the world of board games? Happy Rainbow is it! Get ready for a burst of colors and fun with Flip the squirrel, who needs a little help rebuilding a vibrant rainbow. The gameplay is super light and intuitive: each player gets their own rainbow board and the goal is to complete the missing colors. How does it work? It's incredibly simple! You roll three dice and try to match color symbols or the iconic raindrop symbol. If you match at least two color symbols, you grab that colorful rainbow arch for your board. But what if luck isn't on your side at first? No worries! If you roll raindrops, they act as wildcards, allowing you to trade them for any color you're missing. And the best part: you get a second chance! Each player can roll the dice up to twice per turn, providing a gentle introduction to the 'push your luck' mechanic in a way kids find exciting and easy to grasp. It's a colorful race where color and pattern recognition are the keys to victory. With quick 10-minute sessions, it's perfect for keeping young minds engaged without any frustration, making it a visually stunning and playful entry point into the hobby.
