Product Description
I'm Brent Vincent, and it's my pleasure to introduce you to Latice Hawaii, a game developed by my wife, our daughters, and myself in our living room. I hope you enjoy playing it as much as we've enjoyed creating it.
In Latice, you get ahead by playing your tiles as quickly as possible. You have to be careful, though, because you'll need to balance how fast you play with saving resources for future turns and making sure you don't set up your opponent.
This game is fast-paced, competitive, and more than a little addictive. Can you keep the gameplay light to allow an adult to play with an 8-year-old? Absolutely (hint: just give the adult a few extra tiles at the beginning). Can adults play competitively with the best players using chess-style strategies? Even better.
It's quite challenging to explain what makes Latice gameplay so unique, but let me try. It's like a combination of Rummy, Sudoku, and a Rubik's Cube. The game can be won or lost in just a few turns, but you're never out of the game until the last tile is played.
Bottom line, it's a great game that will be loved by everyone you share it with. A game you'll keep coming back to again and again. Try it, we know you'll enjoy it -- that is, as long as you're a person who enjoys strategy and fun (this said, if you'd prefer a game about poop, the folks over at Hasbro can help!).
Wishing you many fun-filled games with the people you love,
Brent

GeekDad"Latice is a game that does a fantastic job of bridging young or casual gamers with older, more experienced players. I can count on one hand the number of games that my 13-year-old, my 8-year-old, and I can play together. Latice is a thankful addition to that rarefied group." |
NAPPA Award 2019"The game takes about 20-30 minutes to play and can be done as partners to help younger children learn about playing and how to strategize. I would recommend this to parents, grandparents, and teachers, anyone who likes to play games." |
Tillywig Toy Awards 2019: Best Family Fun"Latice Hawaii plays extremely well across a broad range of ages. Kids, friends, parents, and grandparents can compete enjoyably against one another without a predictable outcome, making for outstanding party and family fun - until the final tile is played, it's anybody's game!" |
The Dice Tower Seal of Approval"Latice came out of nowhere and really surprised me. This is a game I can wholeheartedly recommend especially to folks who are not necessarily into gaming. This is an easy sell for someone who wants to include the kids or have people who play at different levels. Thumbs up for me. Check this one out, folks!" --Zee Garcia, The Dice Tower |

This game can have as much strategy as you desire. A younger child could easily pick it up because you match the colors/shapes basically; however, you have wind pieces that move other pieces to set up for you next move. You want to get rid of all your tiles first. So, kids may take longer to master the strategy part of it but could still play and enjoy with adults. That’s awesome!
This game is made of TOP QUALITY materials. The board is very thick and nicely printed. The plastic tile tray is thick and very nice with the name of the board game on the back and it holds 5 tiles perfectly. The tiles are thick plastic with stickers already on them so it’s ready to play out of the box. The gemstones are plastic and feel great in your hand. It also comes with a timer for other ways to play the game—which is also neat! The rules include several other ways to play the game so you can swap it out and it becomes a whole new experience if you want something different or more challenging.
If you like board games or are looking to get into playing board games, this is a great intro game to get you started because it’s so easy to learn. I recommend showing the short video before having new people play with you so they have the gist.
Buy this game!!! It’s well worth the money in quality product, fun game time (20 minutes each game), and ability to mix it up and play different versions WITHOUT any type of expansion packs.

I must say that, for the price, the game quality is fantastic:
* The board is thick enough cardboard that I am not concerned over its longevity. I also like that the company put their game artwork on the backside of the board, instead of just having a solid black surface.
* The tile trays are a nice, translucent blue acrylic that is very pleasant to the eye and matches the theme.
* The included gems, yellow "sunstones" and blue "half stones", are a fun experience. Having physical representations, instead of cardboard tokens, is a nice tactile element added to the game.
* The tiles are a little thin, with stickers on each one, but I am surprisingly OK with them. The sticker area is recessed, so I don't have any concern about them coming off after repeated handling. And, honestly, I don't think making them heavier duty would accomplish much.
Overall, this is a really fun game and I am glad I picked it up for our family.
While it did take a couple times to actually understand the different ways to score points once we learned what we were doing wrong the game quickly became very a family favorite. The game came packaged and all the pieces were durabale and organized. The card holders had deep set places so when packing up the game there were not lost pieces. The tiles are sturdy and strong. Our toddler actually tried to snack on them and they held up to her slobber.
I do encourage you to watch the videos about how to play the game and score gems but the game is fun. It is something that our 6 year old can play with us. It also is a quick game. Nothing long like Monopoly or Life where you just keep going and going. This game plays quickly and depending on how quickly tiles are being played can be played in under 40 minutes!
Go ahead and hang ten. Grab this game and relax with the water themed board. A fun family game that makes you think ahead and plan your next move. You need to add this game to your collection today.

「英語だけど、少しくらいなら読めるし……大変だけど説明書翻訳すればいいか」
と、若干不安になりながらも購入。
結果として大正解でした!単純なルールに加えて、
なんと公式ホームページに日本語に翻訳済みのPDFが!!
コンポーネントは箔押しのボード、半透明の綺麗なストーン。しっかりしたプラスチック製(?)のタイル。
半透明の台座は少しばかり汚れていましたが、そんな些細なことは気にならないレベルの完成度です。
砂時計まで入ってますよ!
This is a game that will appeal to all ages and can be more thought provoking or as simple as you wish.
Additionally the carton board is of low quality. You need to really try a lot to set it straight and when you do, you're left with ugly bending lines.
Updated rating because Adacio were nice enough to refund the game for me.
