Each game includes 40 dice (ten each of four
different colors), and a rules sheet.
I have been looking for some fun new games to share with my family during our weekly game nights, as well as ones I can use with my girls as part of our homeschooling. A recent search led me to the TENZI website where I learned about this fun dice game, the whole family will enjoy playing. I use a handful of dice games with my teaching as I find it helps the girls with their math, especially when we are doing speed drills and they roll dice and have to count up all the dice and tell me the total. But, this can get boring if you over and over again, so I am always on the lookout for fun games to add to the mix, and this is when I stumbled up on TENZI and thought this is the perfect dice game, and one my girls would absolutely LOVE...and that they did!
I was graciously sent the TENZI game, along with the 77 TENZI game variations card deck, for my family to review. I had read about the different variations of game play (see below for a handful of them), but I had no idea there was a card deck with so many more.
This really makes TENZI a dice game that will never get boring and one my family will want to play time and again, with each of us falling in love with different variations of the game, that we will want to play.
So, what is TENZI you ask? And, how do you play it? Here is a brief description of game play, followed by a short video so that you can learn more about TENZI...
---
Everyone gets ten dice. Someone says “Go.”
Then everyone rolls and rolls as fast as they
can until someone gets all their dice on the
same number. Sure, there are a few more
rules, but you get the idea!

Like I said above, there are so many variations of playing TENZI beyond just rolling the dice and getting all 10 to be the same. Check out some of the other way ways to use TENZI game the next time you gather your family around the table for game night...
More Fun Way to Play with TENZI Dice...
TENZI TOWER:
"Instead of putting your successfully rolled dice aside, stack them one on top of the other. First player to get all ten of their dice stacked and shout “TENZI” wins!
SPLITZI:
Instead of trying to get all ten dice of one number, try to get five dice of one number and five dice of another number, and then yell “TENZI”.
TEAM TENZI:
Join forces and play in teams! Get all your team’s dice on one number. Or play this way – each team member goes for a different number!
MEGA TENZI:
Ten dice not enough for you? You’ll really have your hands full with twenty dice! Double the challenge, double the frenzy!
STEALZI:
If you see another player roll the number you’re going for, steal those dice and give the player an equal number of your dice. No stealing on the first roll of the game, or from any player going for the same number as you!
TARGET TENZI:
All players declare which number they’re going for before the first roll. Or, decide on one number that everyone has to go for!
TIMED TENZI:
How fast are you?
Over 40 seconds……Cubie Newbie
30 – 40 seconds……..Tumbler in Training
20 – 30 seconds……..Rockin’ Roller
10 – 20 seconds………Dice Dragon
Under 10 seconds…..TENZI Master
30 – 40 seconds……..Tumbler in Training

So, as you can see TENZI is a great game for kids and families to enjoy in a variety of different game play modes. We have been having a blast trying out some of the different play options above, with the TENZI Tower being a personal favorite of ours. My youngest always seems to get so excited and will bump the table and manage to knock our towers when we are about to yell TENZI...now that I think about, she is probably doing that on purpose. :-)
