Review of the Dice Game Tenzi

Guest Post: by Melodie L. 

Lucky at dice? Do you have quick reflexes? If you answered yes to both these questions then Tenzi is the game for you. A tenzi is rolling 10 dice of the same number – you want to be the first one to do this. Tenzi dice are sold in different colors and the more colors you have, the more players get to play. Tenzi is brought to the next intense level by playing with Tenzi cards (sold separately from the dice – but the cards are a must). Be the first player to achieve the “requirement” on the card and win the card. (Be cautious that strange noises may come out of your mouth when you lose by mere tenths of seconds!) Be the first player to collect 5, 10, 15 (whatever number of cards you’ve decided on before the start of the game) and you win! This is a great game for youngsters that love games but can’t yet play the harder more strategic games.
