Loopit (2007)

About this game

Players place numbered tiles with pipes on a Scrabble like board. The tiles only fit in one direction. On the board are multipliers in some places. On their turn, players may play up to 3 tiles from their rack onto the board, scoring for each tile. Played tiles must match up to the tiles next to them, being collected to at least one. The score for a tile is the sum of the tiles it is connected to plus the value of the tile itself, multiplied by the multiplier it is played on (if any).

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 7 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
