—user summary

Kivi Shapes is a tactical game of dice where the players score points by building lines of consecutive stones. The dice decide where a stone can be placed: The shapes on the dice should match a combination of shapes on the game board. A minimum of three stones in a vertical, horizontal or diagonal row are required to get points. Should you stake on your own row or block another player's game? When the game board is filled with stones, the game ends and it is time to find out who has the most points.

Kivi Shapes extends the Kivi game series: Easier tally and bigger parts are better suited even for younger players. Award-winning Kivi quality!

Contents: Game board, 5 dice with symbols, 64 stones
