1 GANZ SCHÖN CLEVER
This German gem – known in English as That’s Pretty Clever!, though no-one ever calls it that – was at the forefront of roll-and-write’s return to popularity last year, bursting onto the scene with its colourful array of dice and varied scoring combinations. Ganz’ clever hook comes in its interactive dicedrafting, which lets other players use any die lower than the one you take – and locks them out if you’re playing alone. Speaking of which, the mobile app version has become an obsession for many players by itself, with that next high score always just one roll away… (See what we thought of Ganz sequel Doppelt so Clever on page 76.)
