Black It Out (2020)

About this game

Black It Out is a fun roll and write game that is extremely simple yet offers great tactical decisions. Playing in roughly 15 minutes (with no set up time) Black It Out is ideal for families, as a warm up at the start of a games night or as a 'one last game' before the night is over. The aim of the game is to be the person who has 'blacked out' the most of their grid. On a turn you will roll three dice, total two of them which will give you a shape and then draw that shape on to your grid to 'black it out'! -description from designer

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 100. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 4 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
