Product Information

Placement of the walls too requires players to be mindful of the disposition of the other walls in the structure. It might be necessary to slightly offset walls to deal with small but compounding mis-alignments at lower floors of the architecture. The way around you play roofs too is going to be influenced by this, and determining points of maximum pressure for other players is going to involve microanalysis at the visual level. True, this is only if you’re playing to win. If you’re in a competitive group visual impairment is going to be a serious hindrance to effective play. Meeple Like Us is engaged in mapping out the accessibility landscape of tabletop games. Teardowns like this are data points. Games are not necessarily bad if they are scored poorly in any given section. They are not necessarily good if they score highly. The rating of a game in terms of its accessibility is not an indication as to its quality as a recreational product. These teardowns though however allow those with physical, cognitive and visual accessibility impairments to make an informed decision as to their ability to play. 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. At the beginning of Rhino Hero, each player is dealt a hand of 5 ceiling cards. The first player starts at the ground floor, taking two wall cards (which are cards that are bent to a 90 degree angle) and placing them on a template that shows the required shape the walls need to form. Ceiling cards may have special powers that activate after they are placed. Powers include causing the next player to draw an extra card or lose a turn, allowing a second ceiling card to be played immediately, or causing the next player to have to move the Rhino from its current position to the highest level ceiling.

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: There are no intersectional issues that would change the baseline category recommendation so there’s not much for us to talk about here other than our usual considerations. 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. 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.Game length is very brisk – ten or so minutes at the high end. It doesn’t just work for conditions with modulating severity – it’s also the kind of thing that works around brief moments of comfort. It does require a solid surface upon which to play but as long as that surface has the dimensions of a playing card you can whip this out. It extends upwards, not outwards. Even the competition in Rhino Hero is not likely to be an intersectional issue because everyone secretly wants to trigger the fail condition – it’s as fun to be the person that brings the thing collapsing to the ground as it is to be the one that watches it. As such, the hyper-competitiveness that sometimes causes intersectional problems to manifest is not a consideration. Conclusion

Super Battle emulates the perfect crescendo; a smooth and circumspect event but as the skyscraper grows, the tension begins to build until the grand finale of everything toppling over and exploding like a firework of urban landscape. Of course, all of this is based on the assumption that players have some degree of visual discrimination. The game is not remotely playable in situations of near or total blindness given the fact it involves the placement of cardboard walls within tight constraints with little margin for error. This in the end is the primary accessibility concern with the game. In many ways it’s comparable to competitively building a house of cards – it’s certainly not impossible for those that are totally blind but it requires a considerable degree of extra care and attention. Within Rhino Hero, all the other players are hoping you fail and engineering the circumstances as best they can to bring that failure about. I have two small negatives about Super Battle. First, it feels like a missed opportunity that this game does not integrate with the original, and second, the box is far larger than it needs to be. These issues aside, however, the production of this game is top-notch, and it’s great fun to play.Take the superhero medal if you are higher up the skyscraper than any other player at the end of the turn. 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 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. In celebration of the 10th anniversary of Rhino Hero, HABA is proud to introduce Rhino Hero: Missing Match, a fast and furious reverse-matching speed game that’s fun for all ages. Rhino Hero is the extremely popular prequel to Rhino Hero Super Battle. Created by the innovative HABA company, this game is the modern-day Jenga with a far better theme and lots more interactivity, making it a fantastic first step into the new-era of “board gaming.”

Ideally the double roof card should be played as the second to last roof card in your hand, if you play it as your last card you are still the winner, but can help your neighbor by placing one more card on top of the double roof card. 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. 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. The player selects one of their floors to add to the skyscraper. The symbols on the cards are very clear and indicate whether small wall(s), large walls(s) or both types should be taken and set-up before the floor card is place on top.This section isn’t going to be a surprise I’m sure. Rhino Hero is a game of reasonably fine positioning of walls and roofs and rhinos, and doesn’t lend itself to verbalisation. The card-play is trivial, and only sets up the context of the following placement challenge. This is a game you absolutely have to play physically to get any enjoyment. That means that those with impairments in terms of fine or gross motor skills will be unable to play. 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! Super Rhino! presents players with an incredibly heroic – and regrettably heavy – rhinoceros who is eager to climb a tall building and leap other tall buildings in a single bound. First, though, you need to construct that building.

Not a problem with colour blindness, but bear this in mind when we talk about contrast in the next section 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. 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:If the active player’s hero is now higher on the tower than anyone else’s, they claim the superhero medal token. This token will change hands throughout the game as players grapple to be king of the hill. Then, to conclude their turn, the active player draws a new floor card.
