TENZIIIIIII!
Hey Guys, how are you doing?
Before we begin, props to Carma Games and Steve at TENZI for sending me TENZI and 77 Ways to Play TENZI to check out! TENZI is probably the SIMPLEST game EVER reviewed on Yay or Nay, probably the simplest game ever! Let's see why!
The basic concept is that there are 4 sets of ten dice(the game supports up to 4 players), each player rolls 10 dice until all of their dice land on the same number, to which they yell "TENZI"! You can also put aside dice for the next roll, say if you had more 3's, then you would put all the 3's aside and go for all 3's on the next roll so that you have a higher chance of getting all 3's.
Let's start with the box, or in this case, rectangular...acrylic(maybe?) tube. I absolutely LOVE the tube, it's such an innovative way to package a product, especially a game. It shows off all your dice in a super nice fashionable way, it's extremely portable, very sturdy, and you can fit it into just about ANY nook and cranny in your home.
The lid is very sturdy and, I have to admit, I opened it the WRONG way. I opened the glued BASE and said in my old review that IT WAS TERRIBLE. But, it's not. It's a GREAT lid.
Now to actual play. TENZI is awesomely fun. But, me and my friends played it with the ACTUAL rules a couple times, then we got bored. Yeah. But, that's not to say that TENZI is not re-playable. I played the LEGIT game with a bunch of OTHER friends, they loved it and we played the LEGIT game for ALL OF LUNCH! So it really depends on what kind of a person you are, in order to determine the re-play value of TENZI, but to ensure re-playability for ANYONE you play TENZI with, 77 Ways to Play TENZI is the way to go.
77 Ways to Play TENZI is 77 Cards with 77 Ways to Play TENZI on them! All of the groups I played TENZI with, found this VERY FUN. Our favorites were "STATEZI" and couple others.
Final Verdict - 7.5/10
At $13.95 on Amazon, TENZI might be a bit pricey but, if you buy the party pack along with 77 Ways to Play TENZI on Amazon, it's a great gift that's going to last quite a while!
Thanks for reading guys, see you next time!
