That in turn adds a very nice element of resource conservation into play – you want to keep those safe spaces free until you really need them, but they’re safe spaces for everyone even if each player has a different view on just how safe they are. You want to use them at the time where they yield their maximum benefit but that’s the same thing that everyone wants to do. As such every turn becomes a kind of architectural roulette where you weigh up the odds of success versus the potentially wasted opportunity of playing it safe. Someone is going to use the safest part of the structure to play their roof. You want it to be you, but you don’t necessarily want it to be now. You want it to be when not playing it safe is too risky to contemplate. But these are used to indicate the ‘easy’ versus ‘hard’ sides of the board and as such they convey no ongoing gameplay information. You can tell them apart by how many build points are displayed – the side with the fewest build points is the difficult one. Build points on the foundational boards are either red or yellow, and this creates an accessibility issue of sorts for some players with colour blindness: Anyway. Super Battle is the ONLY dexterity game I own and pops out whenever we have friends, family or muggles round and the reaction has always been the same. The house fills with laughter and cheer which no other game in my personal collection manages to achieve. Final Thoughts on Rhino Hero: Super Battle

No but seriously my son loves to do the “single tall wall with a floor on top” move that immediately starts teetering precariously Each turn, you choose a floor card from your hand that determines which and how many wall cards you will use (short or tall) to support the floor card. The walls are placed on the tower (either on the base level or on previously played floors) with the floor on top of them. If the floor shows a monkey, you have to hang a spider monkey from the floor card.Refer to the Rhino Hero accessibility teardown for a full discussion of this. The extent to which the game sprawls is going to have a negative impact on the visual parsing of game state, but it makes up for that to a certain extent by the cards being easier to read because of their distinctive (and indeed, garish) iconographic design. To set up the game, players place three large tiles in a row on the table, to act as the base of the tower. Each player chooses a hero and receives a hand of three floor cards. Have you ever wanted to be a super hero? Have you ever wanted to be a super hero who is also an animal? Have you ever wanted to be a cape wearing super animal climbing a skyscraper? No, me neither but Rhino Hero: Super Battle gives you that opportunity nonetheless! Making it’s way onto shelves six-years after it’s hugely under-promising predecessor Rhino Hero; does Super Battle sit atop the tower of triumph? Building your way to success! The walls as well! The walls are made out of high-quality card which after many play throughs, simply refuse to fray and crease horribly. Personal Point

Overall the accessibility in this category is slightly worse than Rhino Hero, but since we already didn’t recommend that for those with visual impairments it doesn’t really change the state of affairs much. Cognitive Accessibility This also ensures that before too long you can’t nudge one card without nudgnig all of them because it’s inevitable that you’ll have to make use of other roofs to support new roofs. Many roofs need a long and a short wall and you can’t have roofs placed at a slope. Before too much time has passed your whole edifice has the internal interconnectivity of a haphazard hive constructed by bees doped up on LSD.HABA Games had their work cut out for them in trying to improve upon the crossover hit that was Rhino Hero… and they completely succeeded. Rhino Hero: Super Battle is incredibly fun, easy to learn, and definitely is not just for kids. Sure, you can play this one with your little ones, and then once you shove them off to bed, play again without them. The double-sided starting tile should then be placed: the side showing the two wall placement lines is your easier option, the side showing only one can be used for a more competitive family shootout or by those up for a challenge. HABA have long been experts in creating exciting, fun, learning games for children. Rhino Hero first and foremost teaches children basic hand management and dexterity skills and patience. But it does more than that, because it’s one of the most perfect party games out there for adults, too. If ever there was an ice-breaker in a box, Rhino Hero would be it. Sure to be a favorite for all ages, this game plays differently every time. Includes more challenging variations for advanced gamers. Super heroes share colour palettes, which might be a problem when you’re trying to work out which is yours in a frantic melee, but they also have completely unique art and distinctive form factors.

It’s easy to see now how Rhino Hero appeals to everyone. Kids love the challenge, and almost thrive on having to move the rhino. Whereas adults, whether playing in the pub or once the little ones have gone to bed, will pull the most outrageous faces as they desperately attempt to concentrate, while the engrossed, watching crowd cheer their every move. The game box states that Rhino Hero Super Battle (designed by Scott Frisco and Steven Strumpf) is suitable for 5-99-year-olds. What’s amazing about this game is that not only are people of all ages capable of playing the game but the rules contain great ways of allowing younger players to stand a chance of winning against older players. These include: Rhino Hero is about a heroic rhinoceros, clad in a cape and cowl, trying to scale a skyscraper! (If that hasn’t grabbed your attention, nothing will.) Technically this is a children’s game by hugely popular publisher HABA, but don’t let that put you off. While you can – and will – enjoy this with children of all ages (realistically aged five and up, for them to grasp the dexterity concept), it’s also guaranteed to be a smash hit with the adults, too!

Then, if the floor card shows a spider-monkey icon, the player takes a spider-monkey token and hangs it off the floor they just placed.
