HABA Rhino Hero Game - Card Games for Kids, Ideal for Ages 5 & up - The Heroic Rhino Hero Stacking Card Game Adventure - Triple Award Winner

Simple, quick, and fun little party game. A favorite for me now!

I use this with young children. It’s fun and easy. You don’t have to be able to read and the youngest child can win if she can stack the cards.

Great fun game for the whole family

Perfect game to play with the kids. It's quick, easy, and unlike Jenga, doesn't damage wooden tabletops when the tower collapses.

Great game play and concept. If this review was just for game play I would give it 5 stars. I have been looking up games to play with my 5 year old, and this is a winner and am glad I bought it. For a game to be good to play with my son, it has to have some strategy involved (not just a spinner and chance - that does not keep my son's attention). This is a better version of a block stacking game because it involves a good amount of skill. Not only do you place walls on a roof card in an assigned manner, but you have you have cards that tell you to skip a players turn, reverse the direction of the turns, add a card to the next players hand, allow you to place two of your roof cards, and my favorite - put Rhino Hero on a floor. My only issues are with manufacturing. The card stock used is adequate, and feels substantial enough for play long term. However, the roof cards do have slight curving from packaging which does affect game play (might have a bigger impact than I realize, but is mainly noticeable on cards where you can play two roof cards at once and they don't sit flat). The last thing that I wish they had thought of was better boxing. Many games (which are cheaper) have a box that fits the cards with dividers, etc. In this one you cannot even put the wall cards back in the box still bent because the box height is too short so you have to unbend the cards for storage (and worry about the cards sliding into one another, ruining them because there is no divider). Overall though, based on game play we are very happy to put this in our game rotation.

This has been a great experience getting my child involved and not to be on the screen! Creative and a lot of fun!

Perfect game for our 4 year old granddaughter. Plus we as grandparents didn’t get bored.

This is a fun card game that includes a little manual dexterity element. You’re supposed to bend half of the cards which is unique and feels wrong, don’t be alarmed!

El juego tardó un poco en llegar, sin embargo, llegó en excelentes condiciones y el juego es muy bueno.

It's a great fun game with families, might be a bit tricky for 3 yo when the floors get higher and harder to reach haha

gioco di destrezza perfetto per bambini da 5 anni in su. la marca Haba è la solita garanzia. Soddisfatto, lo consiglio

Tengo dos sobrinas pequeñas, una de 4 y otra de 9 años y nos lo hemos pasado muy bien con este juego. Es cierto que para la mayor (9 años) se quedaba un poco sencillo ya, pero por lo menos nos ha sido posible jugar con ambas a la vez dada su diferencia de edad.

Story: A nice day out in the city, planning on doing some shopping in hopes of buying a brand new pair of underpants. Suddenly, is it a bird... is it a plane... No wait, it's a heavy looking creature that can't fly climbing up a building. A Rhino, dressed in a blue body suit and a purple cape, with a purple eye mask and obviously been using whitener on its horn. IT'S RHINO HERO. But wait, is that building moving? It is, it looks like it's going to fall over. With Rhino Hero on top battling a feisty criminal, it looks like they're going to fall to their doom and take down the building with them. It's not good, there are cats pooing from balconies, bears watering plants, dogs daydreaming, mice looking at dirty magazines and elephants watching something they probably shouldn't be via internet TV. There's a pan of mashed potato on a stove which could cause a fire, and socks on a clothes line which could get mucky again. This could be a complete disaster. The building wobbles, but luckily Rhino Hero has saved the day. He has the criminal in custody and they're back on the ground. Well done Rhino Hero, well d... Ah, looks like someone breathed too heavily, the building just fell down. Oh well, just another tower block to fall over in this city. When are they going to stop making them out of bits of card? ​Review: If you have a decent flat surface in your home and want a quick game of something dramatic, then Rhino Hero is perfect. Not something you'd take to the park to play during a picnic, and definitely not something you'd play in a car on the way to see Aunt Marge. Nope, you need a nice flat surface, and no heavy breathing. Rhino Hero is a card/tile stacking game where you are helping Rhino Hero climb a building to save the day. For between 2 and 5 players, you hand out five roof/action cards to each player (seven cards in a 2 player game), and take it in turns to place walls and top it off with a roof card. Each roof card has markings on them to show where the walls are to be placed. Makes for a more challenging game. Some cards have actions on them. It could mean changing direction of play so the player on your right would take the next turn instead of the usual clockwise direction. The next player could even miss a turn, or you could force them to take an extra card in to their hand from the deck. The main one has a picture of Rhino Hero on it. That means the next player has to put the Rhino on that card, and the higher the tower, the more the risk it's going to topple over in to an oblivion because it's not just placing Rhino Hero on that card, you have to remove it from a lower one first. There should be a rule where whoever falls the building, has to pick up the game. In fact, you never want this game to fall over for the mess it's going to make. No worries, it's a fun mess, I think? If I had to give any advice playing this game, make sure you play it on a super flat surface and away from anything that the cards can slide under (kitchen cupboards or washing machines), and also don't play if the floor has a chance of cards falling through the cracks, because once the tower falls, they can go everywhere, and you don't want to lose anything. Oh, and when that tower gets to a tipping point, make sure you get the camera out and snap the reaction of the player who topples it. Classic every time. Simple terms, you take it in turns to make a tower go as high as possible, the person who knocks it over loses, and the winner is the person with the least roof cards in hand. Or, build it without knocking it over, the person to use all of their roof cards first wins the game. This is a very good game for all the family. Children might rush it and be quite eager to get the tower high, and you'd think this would be their downfall. Seriously though, kids will surprise you as you're looking at them placing a dodgy roof and you're certain it's game over, and then it stays up and they've set you up for a huge disappointment. Trust me, before writing this review, my 4-year-old son beat me twice in a row by doing exactly this. Definitely one for the collection, simple, quick, and a lot of fun. Experiences: I played Rhino Hero for the first time at Ludorati Board Game Café in Nottingham, UK. It wasn't long after I made the purchase, not because I won that game, but because this is great fun and know my kids would end up loving it, and it's a hit on a game day. Since then, I've lost more times than being victorious. The two previous games I played before writing the review, I lost to Maverick. Both times, he put the roof tiles on dodgy, I thought I could use it to my advantage and win, and both times he was jammy and managed to carry on stacking. I lost because there was no hope of putting a wall tile on without it falling over. He's a clever lad, and very lucky. Love this game.
