The Shake Up Game
It’s like Yahtzee, but meaner! Each player starts with their colored pawns on the lowest level of the game board. In order to move their pawns up on the board they must roll combinations of runs or kinds. Roll three of a kind or a run of three, move a pawn on up. Roll 2 pair will get you up another level too. Roll a complete run of four or four of a kind and not only do you get to move your pawn up a level, but you can take another turn. Is that too tame for you? Then don’t take another turn and take another player’s pawn and put it back on the starting level. Be careful though, because if you don’t get a good combination that allows you to move, you’re penalized and it’s back to the beginning you go. The first player to move all five of their colored pawns into the “safe zone” at the top of the board wins. Shake Up comes with game board, four dice, 20 colored pawns, and instructions. For 2 to 4 players ages 7 and up. Manufacturer: Jax SKU: JAX2000
