Game 136: That's Pretty Clever
Two weeks ago our son, whose love language is very definitely "The Giving and Receiving of Gifts," gave David an EARLY Father's Day gift of the game That's Pretty Clever . We had played it once before, a year or so ago, at our friends' house. That first time we played it, I found it interesting but very confusing. You use a die or combinations of dice to mark spaces on the board, and those spaces can provide one or more benefits. Each of the colored dice provides opportunities in a different way, and that first time I played it I found it nearly impossible to make decisions about which die to choose to use at any given time. It wasn't hard to play; it was just hard to figure out any kind of strategy to be able to play well. But even though it was at least a year later that I played again, I found it vastly easier to make decisions with confidence each turn. My husband and I are now completely addicted to this game and have played it nearly every day si
