Glüx Review - with Tom Vasel

[@citmod]

Picked this up at Essen after playing it. Great game, which works well for 2, 3 and 4 players.

[@brianb5145]

Wonder when this will be available in the U.S. Amazon doesn't have it, neither do Funagain, Cool Stuff, or Miniature Market.

[@KissellMissile]

Funagain has it on preorder. I bet it will be available early 2017.

[@desireeberkley7780]

It is available on amazon now.www.amazon.com/Queen-Games-10221-Gl%C3%BCx-Board/dp/B01GX992G4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1481217138&sr=8-1&keywords=Gluex. You have to spell "Gluex" instead of "Glux" to find it.

[@sdhute]

Its available now on amz

[@CarlToonist]

The two, three, and five, should allow you to move diagonally. House Rule!

[@ConditionallyUsed]

Thought it would go into his collection..

[@codeman99-dev]

hmmm... maybe replace Blokus in my collection? Not sure.

[@Fergit_]

You could replace those chips with some cool dice.

[@Fergit_]

Nick Smith You replace them after you take the chips out. Duh.

[@petertran2162]

Yeah, ONLY if you get a two sided dice and has to be same combo as the chip set that you are replacing. Maybe you can cast your own dice. =)

[@paulbrown5937]

You don't have to "cast your own dice". D6's opposite sides are 1 and 6, 2 and 5, and 3 and 4 just like in this game. Just roll a dice and have the option of flipping it over

[@Jeff321]

This sure looks like they cut costs by not including dice as components.

[@ThomasBeckingham]

possibly you're right. It does make things a little easier for kids to see what their two options rather than having the spin the dice around to see its opposite.

[@KissellMissile]

I think there are two reasons to not have dice. One is weight/cost, as there are 96 chips in the box. The second is that you need to have everyone have the same distribution, so the dice are really not necessary. I think the chips work much better.

[@sdhute]

Looks interesting to bad its all cardboard. Maybe they will add additional game boards in the future.

[@paulbrown5937]

Why doesn't this game have actual dice???? Just roll a dice and have the option of flipping it over, get rid of the bag completely

[@thedicetower]

You need equal numbers. A die would add too much randomness. You should have the same number of 1/6, 2/5, and 3/4

[@paulbrown5937]

The opposites sides of a d6 are 1 and 6, 2 and 5, 3 and 4 lol. They always add up to 7. It looks like they cheaped out on components and gave you cardboard chits instead of dice when they realized they would have to add a ton of dice to the box.

[@thedicetower]

You aren't understanding what I'm saying. There is an equal number of chips 1/6, 2/5, 3/4. If you rolled dice you might get WAY more 3/4s than 1/6s, for example. That would cause the game to not work as well.

[@paulbrown5937]

Ahh okay that makes sense

[@JadYammine]

I don't understand how you can give this game a positive review while you didn't like Tash Kalar.
