Timberdoodle's review

Video

If you are looking for a game that has easy-to-teach rules which can be explained in less than two minutes, involves lots of interaction, is playable for various numbers of players, reinforces basic number recognition, is made of high-quality materials that are a joy to handle, and is entertaining enough that even the losers have a great time playing, then you have found it!

Upturn is our newest Eurogame that has enticed even our most reluctant gamers to play. In this fast-moving game, players take turns placing their thick, sturdy tiles in the correct numerical sequence. If that were all there was to it, then the game would be good for math practice, but would not be terribly exciting.

However, Upturn has loads of unexpected twists as special tiles let you change direction, give unwanted tiles to opponents, skip players, and even play wildcard tiles. There is such a nice blend of strategy, for the competitive crowd, and chance, to level the playing field, that this may prove to be the most popular game in your household.

Each Upturn game has 106 high-quality tiles and four playing racks. (However, families with more players will be delighted to know that you can easily combine two games for a maximum of eight players.) This game is recommended for any age that can recognize a double-digit number.
