What is Tenzi:Tenzi4Tenzi claims to be the fastest game in the world, but for our family it’s also tons of fun! It’s recommended for ages 7 and up, but my five-year old loves this game. Tenzi comes with four (4) sets of ten dice and can be played with 2-4 players. Inside the original Tenzi game, you’ll find eight additional variations of the game.

How to play Tenzi:
Each player chooses a set of dice. When someone says “GO”, everyone rolls at the same time. Quickly look over your dice to see which number you have the most of. Put all your dice of that number aside and continue to roll as fast as possible until all ten of your dice show the same number. The player to get all ten of their dice to match shouts out “TENZI” and wins the game!Tenzi3

The additional variations are:
• Tenzi Tower: Instead of putting your dice to the side, you stack them on top of each other.
• Splitzi: Instead of trying to get all dice one number, get five dice one number and five the other number.
• Team Tenzi: Join forces and play in teams
• Mega Tenzi: Think you can roll more than 10 dice at a time, then give this version a try.
• Stealzi: Another player roll a dice you’re looking for?Take theirs, but give them an equal number from your dice.
• Target Tenzi: All players declare which number they’re going for before the first roll.
• Timed Tenzi: Set a timer to see how fast you are.
• Twisted Tenzi: Mix and match your favorite TENZI games for tons of fun.

Add even more fun with 77 Ways to Play Tenzi Card DeckTenzi5
As wonderful and fun as the classic Tenzi game is, let’s face it…kids get bored. So to keep them coming back, the
Tenzi Card Deck adds an additional 77 creative and interesting ways to play. The cards are over-sized and very durable which I very much appreciate since I know that my boys will play this game without supervision at times. You can choose to randomly draw a card from the stack to determine your game, or flip through until you find your favorite.

You’ll find three types of games in the Tenzi Card Deck:
• Score-keeping games
• Non-speed games
• Pattern Games

In the pattern games, you arrange the dice to match the card, which in turn adds even more educational value. My five-year old enjoys playing the pattern games.

Also, inside the card deck, you’ll find three blank cards so you can create your own TENZI game and even give it a crazy name.

I’ve mentioned how we have fun with the pattern games, and of course the crazy sounds, but here are a couple more of our favorites that you’ll find in the 77 Ways to Play TENZI.

Our thoughts:
This game is awesome because of the simplicity of it. It’s a game that the entire family can enjoy and it moves fast enough so my five-year old doesn’t get bored. The bright-colored dice, and the variety of play that this game offers is perfect.

The Tenzi Card Deck is the perfect companion for the Tenzi Dice game. The card deck has such fun variations, that we can’t help but laugh while playing them. Just today, we decided to do the one that with every role we make a farm animal sound. With four people mooing, barking, or clucking it could sound pretty interesting. I’m sure if someone were watching they would think for sure we had lost our minds.

While this is a super fun game to play, it’s also educational as well. It’s great for working on fine motor skills with the role of the dice, and they practice cognitive skills as they count and match the dice. That’s just by playing the basic game. Once you start adding the additional variety and skill levels, it really adds to the game.
