MYSTIFY Word Scramble Board Game Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We played Mystify at our recent game night with friends and family. Here is the scoop. Mystify is a game based around word and number scrambles. The object of the game is to be the first to solve the word or number scramble. There are 5 different card categories and for each category hints are given as to what the scramble might be. For instance, hints might be - Literary Figure; Popular First Name; Brand Name Product; Popular 70's Movie; Living Creature; Part of a human body, etc. The card reader reads out the letters or numbers (which are scrambled) and players race against each other to solve the scramble. Whoever blurts out the answer first wins the round and is able to advance on the board. The great thing about this game is that everyone plays every round. This keeps all players interested and with a vested interest in paying attention at all times. Since everyone plays at the same time this is a fantastic party game. You really can't go wrong if you want an all inclusive game to play at your game nights!

DaVinci Challenge Game Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Da Vinci's Challenge is a new abstract game published by Briarpatch Games and designed by Paul Micarelli. The game is for two or four players aged 8 to adult. The game board is a pattern of circles and triangles which forms a beautiful design known as the Flower of Life, an ancient symbol which was carved on the walls of Egyptian pyramids and later studied in depth by Renaissance man Leonardo da Vinci.
The game rules are simple. Each player is given 72 game pieces (one player is dark and one is light), divided into two shapes: triangles and ovals. The players then take turns placing each of these pieces on the board over an open space which is the same shape. Their goal is to create certain pre-designated symbols within the larger symbol and to prevent the other player from doing so. Different symbols are assigned different point values, the more difficult ones to create are naturally worth more points. The game continues until no more players can make symbols. To play with four players, simply split the players into teams of two and play using normal rules.
Strategy for the game is more complex. Some players may try to rack up large amounts of low-scoring symbols while others may try to forego the low-scoring symbols in order to try to set up some of the larger, higher-scoring symbols. Some players may play offensively, allowing other players to score in favor of setting up their own symbols. Some may play defensively, using a majority of their moves to block other players from playing their symbols. The best strategy is probably to play a combination of low and high-scoring symbols and a combination of offense and defense. However, take your time and figure out which strategy works for you.

The ancient game of secret symbols is a classic strategy game with hidden mysteries as old as the pyramids. Take turns placing shapes on the game board to reveal nine different patterns. The more complex the design, the more points you score. For two players or two teams.
