Toy Description

Kids can challenge their brains and figure out how three vastly different things are connected to each other. The whole game deals with making discoveries in groups of three. It is a fun, educational game that can be played with a variety of ages.

Play

The game comes with two dice, and just like a classic board game, the number you get is the number of spots you move. Then, whichever one you land on, you pick a card from that category and find the connection between the three things listed on the card.

Observations

Suitable for all ages, the TriBond board game asks players to find the link between three different objects or concepts. The rules are not hard, so it’s very easy to explain to new players how to play the game. It is challenging, because players really have to think about what the connection is between three seemingly opposite things. Since it’s hard and takes a while to figure out each question, it can take a long time. However, the TriBond game board is split up so that players can choose to play a short game or a long game. It could be as long as a few hours, or as short as fifteen to twenty minutes.

Some users have complained that the game board isn’t very sturdy. To keep it from bending or breaking, we recommend to always keep the game board on a flat surface like a table to keep it flat. Also, for young kids, this game is hard and they might not be able to figure it out easily, so we recommend children be at least ten years old to play this game.

Care

  • To prevent losing any playing cards, a rubber band can be used to wrap the cards together
  • Do not get game wet. If it does get wet, use a dry towel and gently soak up the water

Parts and Pieces

The game comes with a cardboard game board, two dice made of plastic, and a variety of playing cards in different categories.

Concerns

No users have reported any choking concerns with this toy, but the dice are small, and so young children should not play this game.
