Tier auf Tier: Das Duell (2008)

About this game

Tier auf Tier: Das Duell is a two player game based on the popular Animal Upon Animal. The game comes with two dice and two sets of four animals each: an octopus, a tiger, a goose, and a squirrel. The dice are rolled: one to see which animal to start building with, one to see which animal goes on top. When a question mark is rolled, players can decide for themselves. Whoever builds his/her tower to completion first wins one coin. The player who has three coins wins the game. Illustrations: Michael Bayer Ages 5 and up

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• 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 5 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
