Vegas (1996)

About this game

Vegas is set in a casino with a game board that shows a series of fourteen gaming tables (made up of squares). The game includes a cut-out figure of 'Mary Chip', a 'gold' die (numbered 1 to 6), two special dueling dice, and markers/counter/cards for each player. Players try to gain control of the best tables, thereby receiving the gold chips. The highest total value of chips at game end is the winner. Endgame is controlled by the movement of 'Mary Chip' as she progresses from table to table. Maginor is a reworking of this game with some rule changes and a new theme.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.6/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
