Yay! (2012)

About this game

In Yay! you have to roll three dice on a 8x8 grid. You can write the sum of the dice in either field the dice touch, provided your opponent has not added a higher number on a neighbouring field. If an opponent has entered a lower number on a neighbouring field you can cross that field out. You may reroll your dice if you are not satisfied with your result, but the sum of the following dice roll has to be higher than your previous one. If it isn't, you have to cross one of your fields out. The game ends, when one horizontal and one vertical row is filled out. The player with the most occupied fields wins.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.1/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
