YAHTZEE: National Parks

We had regular Yahtzee as kids. When I was looking for a way to help us get through the quarantine with my two kids, I looked into old school games that can also help teach. This game fits the bill. Great for my six year old who is just learning math skills (the symbols help her to decide what to keep and what to roll) and my 3rd grader solidifying quick math facts (adding up her points). My only complaint is that the score card is very tiny print and my old eyes struggled with seeing the print. I suppose thats more my problem however and once this quarantine is over I may need to get my eyes checked. Fun for the whole family.

The instructions were a bit lengthy (especially for our 10 and 11 year old grandsons), but once we learned the basics, it was a very fun game. It doesn't take but a few moves and you get the hang of the game. It takes a little strategy if you're playing to win, but fun for all who are playing. I rated it a three for traveling due to the number of pieces and cards; it would certainly do well for playing at your destination, but not a game to play while traveling.

This is the best version of Yahtzee out there. I travel / camp all the time and this game has been part of many, many adventures! I actually worn out one set from playing so much and had to purchase another one. Great color coded national park icons and a handy travel case make this a total win.

I bought this as part of a wedding gift and it is so cute! Love the national park theme and that it’s compact for travel.

Cute version with fun nature components. We are big hikers, so loved the theme. It's nice that the whole game fits in the cup that comes with it.The only qualm we had is if you use the cup to roll the dice, it will leave a black sentiment on it, which was disappointing and very difficult to clean off. Some of it remains, which makes us wonder how safe it is to be handling regularly. I don't know what stained the dice (black powdery substance), but we only played it once before it looked worn. It was a bummer because we like to keep our games in good condition, but it likely wouldn't be an issue if you're a casual player and don't mind the mess.

I love the National Parks and was looking to add to our travel games for our small camper. The game is a great portable size. The dice, scorecards, and pencil fit nicely into the travel container. The only drawback is how small the score card print is. It's quite tiny. Thankfully, I was able to enlarge the card on a copier to make game play much more pleasurable.

We love this! It took some time getting used to the dice because it has a picture on them with a number instead of just the dots. But it’s quickly become a staple in family game night. AND packs up great for traveling/camping. Everything fits together inside the container.

Great game. The graphics are already coming off after only having it a few weeks. It is not meant for daily play.
