It is both longer and less interesting than the original game, and it badly overstays its welcome thanks to an area control element that takes too long to fulfill. The first game is enjoyable, essentially a reskin of Yahtzee with better artwork and ways to take on negative point cards. My daughter and I recently explored the 2017 game King of the Dice to prepare for the most recent addition to this game’s family, King of the Dice: The Board Game (2021, HABA).
