Product Information

There can be few games which provide as much tension and laughter to both children and adults as Rhino Hero Super Battle does. The rules are straightforward and present effective ways for children and adults to play on a level playing field… Rhino Hero Super Battle Set-Up For me, this is one of my ‘lazy games’– when I know we’ve got people coming around and I’m not feeling at my most sociable, or when there’s a bit of a wait on the dinner and I’ve got an irritable teen and an interfering Nana, I’ll look to Rhino Hero to entertain them (and me) for a short space of time. If the structure has not fallen by this point, the player then rolls a die to climb the tower. Based on the result, the player moves their hero piece up or down that many levels.

Rhino Hero Super Battle is an amazing game! I’ve laughed and shouted playing this game more than any other in my collection. If you make use of the variations for younger or less able players then you can be laughing and enjoying it with anyone! Together you build a house of cards, floor by floor, as tall as you can for Rhino Hero. Just like a real house it is made up of walls and ceilings. As you never know how tall it will become the ceilings look like a roof. But before you can do so you have to build the floor, with one or two walls. Have a look at the marks on the foundation or on the last roof card that has been placed. The first player to build all of their roof cards wins the game. Alternatively, if the building collapses, the player who caused the collapse automatically loses, and the player with the fewest roof cards in hand wins.I thought the original Rhino Hero was decent, but nothing to write home about. Rhino Hero: Super Battle, on the other hand, is fantastic. This game completely replaces the old one for me.

He is as strong as a lion and as smart as a fox but also as heavy as a rhinoceros. So when Rhino Hero is around even the most robust tower may start to wobble. Can you help Rhino Hero accomplish his wobbly construction mission? For a game designed for children, there is a bit of strategy that comes into play when choosing which ceiling tile to place. You can mess with the next player by playing a ceiling tile that calls for only one wall, or an orientation that will further unbalance the tower. You can also play cards that will empty your hand faster and force your opponent to skip turns. While these may seem like simple mechanics to adults, they are presented in an easy-to-learn way for younger gamers. We felt that this game did a great job of meeting the needs of gamers and non-gamers alike over the entire age range of 5-99. Final Thoughts In terms of memory the tower itself is all the reminder of the game state required and it’s physically present throughout the entirety of play. Assessing the tower for points of weakness may be somewhat cognitively demanding but it tends to be on a more intuitive level than would usually concern us in the teardown. Besides, not every game has to be a fraught, tense experience of furious mental evaluation. It’s fun to build up the tower and see it fall down regardless of whether you know how to maximise the chance it happens. We strongly recommend Rhino Hero in both categories of cognitive accessibility. Emotional Accessibility For me, this is one of my 'lazy games' – when I know we’ve got people coming around and I’m not feeling at my most sociable, or when there’s a bit of a wait on the dinner and I’ve got an irritable teen and an interfering Nana, I’ll look to Rhino Hero to entertain them (and me) for a short space of time.

End of the Game

Rhino Hero is a dexterity game for 2-5 players that plays in about 10 minutes. Rhino Hero plays best with 3 players, but works equally as well with 2 or 4 players. Rhino Hero can be played by players of all ages. Game Overview If you’re looking for a game that is made well, with illustrations that will make you smile and a premise that is easy-to-learn and easy-to-teach then this is a great starting point. It’s difficult to find a game that keeps all the family engaged these days – there’s so many distractions with social media and technology on demand that sitting kids down for anything longer than half an hour is a task, but with Rhino Hero you can set-up, play and declare a winner in well-under 15 minutes. The rules to Super Battle are so deceptively simple that even your pet dog will understand them, although dogs don’t have thumbs so probably best not to play this with your dog…or any animal really. Roll the light blue die. The number rolled indicates how many floors your superhero can be moved up the skyscraper. Often there is kind of dichotomy here – every impairment category we look is a multi-axis spectrum of severity and symptom and impact. The game characteristics that would stop someone with Parkinsons playing a particular game might not be a problem for someone making use of a wheelchair. However, Rhino Hero proclaims on the front of the box that it’s ‘a card game that can grow over 3 feet’. It’s not often it gets that high, but two feet isn’t unusual and one and a half is probably where the median lies. As such, if it’s not possible to stand it often won’t be possible to play at all.

The first player correctly places walls on the guidelines provided on the start tile. From here, they choose a roof tile from their own hand to give the next player their platform to test their steel. If this roof tile is plain, the next player goes ahead as before. However, if there is a symbol on the roof card, it may affect the next player's turn. Oh, and we’ve saved the best until last. Rhino Hero comes with its eponymous hero in the form of a grinning rhino meeple – brilliant – and if your roof card has the rhino symbol on it, the next player has to move the rhino onto that roof card’s symbol! The first player consideration is likely to lead to interesting discussions….the player who is the best climber can start! They make their move which consists of six action points: Each player starts the game with five cards, unless there are only two of you in which case you start with seven. Your hand is made up of roof cards only, with each one having a different action on it that, once played, affect the game in some way. The wall tiles remain in a draw pile to the side which should be taken from at the beginning of each players turn.Whilst all these intoxicatingly bright colours are a feast for the eyes, it has ignited some of the more interesting debates I have had in my life. Endeavouring to convince people to play what essentially looks like a children’s TV show is more problematic than I thought. The marks on the roof determine how the walls of the following floor have to be erected, and the symbols on the roof determine certain building conditions, which might mix things up a bit. The aim of the game is to be the first to have placed one's roof cards.
