First, let me say this: Iello makes some of the most
beautiful games around. This bookshelf
series they have been putting out is just amazing looking! Take one look at the Pied Piper game and you
will notice a textbook beautiful example of box art. Any game collector would be happy to display
this on their shelf! This amazing
looking game continues when you open the box and see just how high the
production values are on this game. I
love the way the box is set up. It just
looks high quality and super inviting to play.
Plus the pieces are unique and charming looking.
So, how does the game play?
Well, I would say really good. I
have played tons of board games and I must say, the gameplay is unique to
anything I have ever played and yet, it still manages to stick with the theme of
the Pied Piper fairy tale!
So the game basically works by having you move mice through
both yours and other players houses. You
do this by playing cards that tell the gaming crew which mice will move next
and in what direction. Unfortunately,
every time a mouse moves through your house, you take a hit.
Once you have taken the allotted amount of hits you are eliminated from
the game. Your goal is to be the last
man standing.
I loved the ease of play here. It takes all of about 3
minutes to explain to any level of gamer how to play this game. This makes it perfect for quick games before
bedtime or quick games before it is time to leave. This also makes for a great introduction to
board games for the younger crowd.
All in all, I thought the game was just excellent. It was fun, fast, and easy to learn. No to mention it is so good looking. You will be hard pressed to find a better game
for the price and age ranges that will enjoy this game (everyone).
Find it here on Amazon!
