OUR THOUGHTS:
It took some time for me to understand the game. The instructions did not help me to understand the game. We just had to start playing. My son on the other hand knew exactly how to play the game just from reading the instructions and watching the DVD. I must admit I am not a strategy game player. BUT Tri-Cross has won me over. This is an excellent game to help your children with those thinking skills...OK and you adults as well.
My son beat me each time we played this. I lost count after 10. I am determined to beat him eventually! This game has a permanent home on our game shelf for our Friday game night.
