The Genius Star Review - with Tom Vasel

[@Naeddyr]

If those dice all generate puzzles that are solvable, as claimed, they're genius. There's been some serious math behind figuring out what... combinations, permutations of numbers work on those, they even had to use d8's.

This is a great puzzle game and was a hit present this Christmas. Thank you for the good explanation and thoughts about it that convinced me to buy it. Loved the relatability of it.

I bought a copy of this and Genius Square for the school library where I work, and they're very popular! The students love challenging each other to see who is faster

Genius square and star are great puzzle games, particularly with kids

I guess the number distribution on the dice prevents having two instances of a single isolated triangle. Looks like a really nice puzzle, but it would be even nicer to have multiples of the boards and all the pieces so that everyone would play simultaneously. I guess you can buy multiples of this game…

[@Aaackermann]

But you have all components twice in the game. Or do you mean for more than two player?

[@tiagomarques9822]

@@Aaackermann You do? By bad, I thought you had to alternate between players and time each one. But playing with higher counts would be nice as well.

@@tiagomarques9822 In the beginning he shows very briefly the second set of pieces in the box. So yes there is. ;-)

“there’s always 1 solution” The box actually says there’s always A solution, not ONE solution. Something to note for those who prefer puzzles with only one solution perhaps? (I’m not one of those people, I wouldn’t know)
