But instead of shouting at the screen, we have been playing the board game version of The Chase in comfort of our own home. We love board games in our house, especially quiz games, but The Chase board game isn’t just a general knowledge quiz game, it is a race to beat The Chasers and the electronic timer! It is a quiz game suitable for family play and has over 1000 questions. It requires a minimum of 3 players, and a maximum of 6 players and is suitable for age 8+. Each player places 9 of their dice on the end of the board closest to them, and turn the dice so that the values on the top of the dice add up to 25. Each player must always have a total value of 25 on the board at all times. The tenth die is held as a spare. Players then take turns either moving their dice to capture the other player's dice, or exchanging dice values. [2] Movement [ edit ]

There are over 1000 questions on various general knowledge topics, and there are questions that suit all age groups, albeit some can be quite hard (it is a quiz game after all). Some are questions where you have to know the answer, or not, and some are multiple choice so there is a very good mix. How many Chess games did you win? How many did you draw?

If you have ever watched The Chase on television, you will be fully aware of The Chasers, if not, The Chasers are professional quizzers with outstanding general knowledge – their level of general knowledge really is impressive. The Chase board game version doesn’t feature all The Chasers we currently see on our television screens. We all have our favourite Chasers, but the board game version features only four of them: The Beast (Mark Labbett), The Destroyer (Shaun Wallace), TheGoverness (Anne Hegerty) and The Sinnerman (Paul Sinha).Chess is an excellent board logic game that develops such skills as tactics, strategy and visual memory. When a die ends its turn on a hex occupied by their opponent's die, the incoming die captures the defending die. The defender removes the captured die from the board, and adds the number of pips on that die to another die still on the board (thus keeping the total value of pips on that team at 25). For example, the red player moves a red die onto a hex occupied by a blue die with the value of 3. The blue player removes the die from the board, and increases any blue die on the board by 3 to maintain the total point value of 25. [2] Free Chess is not devoid of any added features, however; they just won't add anything in the way of customization or flashy visuals. It's even ad-free, unlike competitor 3D Chess. For more beginner players Free Chess also has the option to undo your previous move, as well as a hint button which recommends the next move you can make. Victory: A player wins by reducing their opponent to four dice, since this reduces the losing player's maximum total of pips to less than 25. [2]

If a die ends its turn on a space occupied by a die of the same color, the incoming die will "bump" the occupying die one space in the same direction. If the second die moves into a space occupied by a third die of the same color, the third die is also bumped.

We love the television show, and the board game is just as good. It is slightly different that the television show, but it works extremely well. We all had great fun playing (2 adults and 2 children aged 10 and 13). If two die of the same colour are adjacent to each other, the player can choose to have the two dice exchange values instead of moving those dice. The player moves value from one of the dice to the other such that the total value of the two dice remains the same. For example, two adjacent dice with values of 4 and 2 could have their values changed to 5-1, 3-3, 2-4 or 1-5. [2] Ending the Game [ edit ]
