Editorial Review

This game is simplicity itself. Maddening, exhilarating, hilarious, frustrating, and addictive simplicity itself. Low score wins in this crazy, fast-paced game of roll 'em and toll 'em. Ten poker chips, numbered 1 through 10, are placed face up on the playing area. Roll a pair of dice, and remove any combination of chips adding up to your total roll; keep rolling until you can't remove a combo. Your score for that round is the total on all chips remaining face up when play passes to the next player. There's a certain brand of potato chips with the slogan "Bet you can't eat just one." The Game of Chips could just as confidently claim, "Bet you can't play just once." --Tony Mason

Product Description

Roll the dice and take out the matching total in chips. Choose your point combinations carefully so you don't get stuck with too many chips left - because in this game the player with the LOWEST score wins.

This review is from: The Game of Chips (box) (Toy)

Chips is a fun, easy to learn, portable game that can really help your child with his/her addition facts and mental math skills. My 7 year-old son who is smart but anti-workbooks and drill sheets LOVES this game. I was looking for games and other media to help him with his addition facts and speed. He is able to practice mental math addition during the game as well as at the end when he must add up total scores with two-digit numbers. This game is so fun and educational that his 2nd grade teacher decided to use it in the classroom. This game has its limits, however. It only covers addition, probability, and some strategy. There are two dice so the largest number combo is only up to 12. Despite these shortcomings, this is an awesome game at an affordable price. It is a game the entire family will enjoy.

I didn't play yet. I just feel $10 for two dice, ten plastic chips, and a tiny cheap pad is over priced!
