Clever 4Ever is the fourth entry in the clever dice family after Ganz schön clever, Doppelt so clever and Clever hoch drei, and it plays the same way with fresh scoring categories. You roll, pick a die, and write its number into the matching colored area of your sheet, building chains that can snowball into big scores. The twist stays in place: any die smaller than the one you chose goes to the other players, so unused dice matter as much as the ones you take and nobody sits idle. Everyone has a sheet of their own, and the game lasts about half an hour for one to four players, from age 14. Released in 2022.

Who it's for

You know Ganz schön clever or one of its siblings and want a new sheet with fresh puzzles.

Not for you if…

You have never played a Clever game and want a simple first dice game. Knowing the sheet logic helps a lot.

Vibe's take

Quick and brainy, with the pleasure of watching a chain pay off after you set it up three dice ago. Everyone is busy on every turn, because the dice you leave behind become someone else's choices.
