Doodle Dice Review
(originally posted April 2011 on my All Meant To Shine blog)
We LOVE this game!!! We actually got it this last Christmas and we never really played it until a couple
weeks ago when my sister was here. We played it maybe 8 times while she
was here and have played it several times since.
Now, obviously I do not have a very
"followed" blog yet so people/companies are not knocking down my door to get me
to review products. Neither did JAX, the makers of Doodle Dice. I
contacted them. I wrote a note, just a simple comment, last night
telling them how much we loved their game.
This is part of what I
wrote:
if you have any coupons for other
JAX games I would love to use them and/or if you would like to send me any other
game to try out and review on my blog I would love to do that also. Writing
that part of the note was really intimidating to me since I am never really
upfront about asking for things, but I figured 1) I would never get a response
back, 2) it really doesn't matter since I will never meet them and 3) that I
have heard people say to just ask and many will send you coupons.
So when I got up this morning I assumed
that a reply email from the company was just saying that they would get back to
me within 24-48 hours, blah, blah, blah. But! It was an
actual email, from an actual-real-life woman, who thanked me
for taking time to thank them for their game. Her email was really sweet and
she said that a package of their other games was going to be sent out
to me today!! She never mentioned one thing about my blog, but just said thanks
for sharing our love of the game with others. How awesome is
that?!?!
I was going to write a review whether I
heard from JAX or not because we really do love the game! But now in addition
to having a great game I know that they have awesome customer service as
well!
So the game... (is
great)
Ages 6 and up. It's said to be for 2-6
players, but since you can steal cards from other players I don't see why you
can't play with as many players as you want. You roll the dice 3 times... alot
like Yahtzee... and try to make a doodle. The above has some of the cards...
there are lots of the purple cards which are the hardest since they take all 6
dice. There are only 6 orange cards, which only take 1 die to make. You need
to collect one of each colored cards in order to win. You draw a new card each
time (we dealt out the cards to each player). We also put them in order of
color to make it easier visually. There are extra roll and block a turn cards
also to make it a little more fun.
Simple but so fun!!
These are some of my favorites...
Singing in the Rain, Pine Tree, Flower, Hot Soup, Twins, and Squiggle. The
names and doodles are really creative and cute. Kassidy had lots of fun making
her own creations, too!
This is one of my other favorites... an
elephant. My cards also show Spanish and French (?) translations.
What are you trying for??
We played as soon as she woke up hence
the crazy hair (there is a Bed Head card!!) and pjs.
Final thoughts: Your family would LOVE
this game also. I looked for the cheapest way to buy it on several different
sites and every single one had the full 5 stars given! That's impressive to
me! My sister and I switched it up and made it a little more competitive by
having to collect two different colored cards and on each turn you could collect
more than one card.
I
am actually buying another Doodle Dice game today for my little sister, who will
be turning 7 in a few weeks. Here is a link to Ebates, which is an awesome
company that simply because you click through their site to get to a store will
give you a percentage of your purchase back in cash. Just check it
out!!
Here is a link to Target's site, who
has the cheapest Doodle Dice when you add in the shipping costs. It is $13.98
total!! Great game and great company!!!
