Shapy

Hearts, stars, triangles ...

The game features 41 colorful wooden disc tiles and three dice. All three dice are identical and each one shows a circle, a square, a triangle, a heart, a flower and a star symbol. The tiles come in different background colors and show between one and three of the symbols in varying mixes and sizes. Several game modes are listed for those components:

Variant I - Players decide how many tiles you must collect to win. Then the tiles are spread out, symbol side up, on the cloth. The active player rolls all three dice and all players search for the tile that corresponds to the dice result with all symbols. Whoever finds it first, takes it, whoever collects the agreed number first, wins.

Variant II is played with adult assistance or with assistance from a school child; again, the tiles are spread out and you roll all three dice, but you do not take the resulting tile. You just point it out and score a point, noted by the game master.

In Variant III, the tiles are dealt evenly to all players; an eventual rest is set aside. If you spot the shape combination, provided by the dice, among your tiles, you place the tile in the middle and you win, if you are first to have shed all tiles.

The new edition of the game within the series Beleduc Selection is packed in an attractive sturdy tin and thus easy to carry along. Shapy is an attractive training for pattern and shape recognition as well as color recognition, reaction and observation. You can also reduce the number of dice and play only with the tiles featuring one and two symbols. If you use three dice, 20 of 41 tiles are only fillings.
