Mini Make 'n' Break (2008)

About this game

This is a compact/travel edition of Make 'n' Break. To save space, the blocks (8 instead of 10) are much smaller (about 4cm long) and the cards are printed with the diagrams of the buildings to construct on both sides. There is no timer, one of the other players rolls the die (3, 2, 1, blank, blank, blank) until the result is equal to or greater than 15. Once this total is exceeded the current player's turn is over. After 5 rounds the player with the most points wins.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• 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 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
