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 Review of Latice Hawaii Popular Board Game

National Parenting Product Awards

Tillywig Toy Awards: Best Family Fun

Dice Tower Seal of Approval

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

I prefer the older, deluxe version
5 Stars
I prefer the older, deluxe version
Edit 10/22: as you can see by the comment below my review, the owner responded very quickly to this. I also received an email and some refund for the issues. This has completely alleviated and grievances or concerns I have with this company. Brent also took some time to explain some of the decisions on why they proceeded with some of what I mentioned below (for example: issues with the tiles losing the graphics on them and people having trouble seeing them, which led to the decision of the stickers). None of this was really anything he was obligated to do or explain. Coinciding with that, I'm going to update this to 5 stars. Personally, I still like some of the deluxe options better, but knowing there were logical reasons behind their decisions is helpful.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -This review is going to be more regarding this specific version/production than the game itself. As far as the game, it's fun and isn't super complex. I recommend it. As far as this new Hawaii version, I have some complaints:• I prefer the deluxe board that only folds in half vs the 4 way fold on this one. This 4 way fold does mean it takes up less space though.• The box is poorly packed. It was literally just the game box inside of one of Amazon's padded envelopes. As a result, the box was damaged in a few places. The board itself was a little dented in on one of the corners. This should be getting shipped inside a larger box, not just by itself in a padded mailer.• The tiles are just stickers on tiles. I'm not sure how the old one was done, but one can't simply just peal off the animal, whereas I could with these new ones. This also means some of them aren't placed quite right and they may come off with time or if something gets spilled on them• The sunstones and halfstones are the same size in the new one. This is nothing of real significance, but the blue ones are called halfstones, having them as half the size makes sense• Storing the tiles in a nice drawstring bag is better than trying to shove them into the molded plastic tray on the new oneI don't see this coming into play much, but I'm unimpressed with the company itself, too. I helped fund their indiegogo campaign. This was supposed to come with a free year of World Latice League (this relates to the mobile app). I never received this benefit. I contacted them through indiegogo, through the app, and even messaged Brent (founder) via the app. I did not get a single word of response from any of them. Brent had responded before to a question through the app. So, it's not as if he never gets the messages.The newer board is larger. I don't see this as a positive or a negative, just worth noting.This Hawaii version is definitely nicer than the flimsy card stock paper ones that were on Amazon. But, if you can find the original deluxe, definitely get it instead.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great strategy game for kids and adults! So many ways to play also!
Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2020
We (adult couple, late twenties) enjoy strategy games and this one was extremely easy to learn. The company even has a wonderful 3 minute video on YouTube to explain how to play so you don’t have to read the directions!

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.
