Who would love this: Kids / adults that enjoy quick / simple games filled with strategy & planning
Ultimo by Mobi is a deceptively simple game filled with delightful surprises! When I first introduced it to my kids, I expected them to enjoy it, but I was amazed by how captivated they became. It’s clear the game is a hit when two young kids enthusiastically asked to play with it repeatedly! Thanks Divisible by Zero for providing this gem!
Why I love ❤️ this game:
(1) Quick Strategy Game With 15 Dice
Ultimo is touted as the world’s fastest strategy game, and it certainly lives up to that claim. Ultimo dice comes with variants of blue, green or purple. Each set contains 15 dice - 14 of one color and one yellow (or gold) die. Its beauty lies in its simplicity, with each round completed in under a minute. To set up, divide the dice into three groups of five. On your turn, you can take 1, 2, or 3 dice from the same group, but the golden die can only be picked last. Winner can take the last gold die alone, or with 2 or 3 others from the same group. It sounds simple, but we were genuinely impressed by the level of strategy involved! Players must think several moves ahead, much like in a fast-paced chess match where every decision matters.
(2) Adaptability - Mix-Up The Dynamics
One of the standout features of Ultimo is its adaptability. Players can reshape the game dynamics by dividing the dice into different number of groups in equal number, or adjusting the number of dice in each group. Each variation presents new challenges, tweaking the outcomes whilst offering a fresh experience to players!
(3) 12-Surface Dice For Better Grip & Game Experience
The dice used in Ultimo are not your typical dice. Instead, the set features dice with chunky and unique 12-surfaces design that provides better grip and control for a seamless game experience. This clever design eliminates the chaos of runaway dice (or rollaway balls), allowing players to concentrate on strategies without the distraction of chasing after errant pieces.
(4) Light-Weight & Travel-Friendly
I love that the game comes in a lightweight, travel-friendly tube, making it incredibly easy to bring along on trips or family outings. Its compact design ensures you can enjoy the excitement anywhere. This game is a delightful combination of strategy and fun, suitable for all ages. We love it!
