About the game
Get ready for a dose of cleverness in 'That's Pretty Clever!', a dice game that will test your astute decision-making skills. Each round, you roll six colored dice and must decide which one to use to score in specific areas of your scoresheet. The big twist is that the dice you don't choose, but which have a lower value than your selected die, become available for other players to use. This keeps everyone engaged and thinking about their opponents' moves, creating a super interesting and interactive dynamic. The goal is to create scoring chains, where an action in one area can trigger bonuses in others, spectacularly multiplying your points. It's an addictive optimization puzzle where every decision matters and can open (or close) incredible opportunities. With simple rules to learn but surprising strategic depth, 'That's Pretty Clever!' is perfect for anyone looking for a quick and fun brain challenge, whether playing solo or with friends. The feeling of chaining multiple scores in a single turn is incredibly satisfying, and with each game, you'll want to discover new ways to maximize your results. It's the kind of game that makes you think 'Oh, that's pretty clever!' with every successful move.
