A Strategic Game-Yikerz!


Yikerz! is a  fun game I came across at the Minnesota Kindergarten convention. I watched different people playing it with one of the vendors and thought I've got to have this game, so I bought one!  The kiddos in the class loved it.  They would gather around and watch the two players playing it.  There were always squeals when the Yiker pieces collapsed together.  The next year I bought another one.  The kiddos use strategy to play the game.  I use it in centers during the middle to end part of the year. 

It was a 2010 Mensa Favorite Brainy Kid Winner

It says it is a 14+ age, but my kiddos had no problem with it.

The Contents Include
4 game board triangles 
20 Yiker pieces (Magnetic triangles)
storage pouch

The object of the game is players take turns placing their Yikerz on the game board.  During a turn, if two or more Yikerz collapse(attract) together into a group, the player must take the whole group back.  The first player to get rid of all their Yikerz first wins the game!

The 4 triangle game board pieces can be set up in different configurations and levels, Novice, Intermediate and Advanced.

It also has fun alternatives to play the game.

If you like a fun game try Yikerz!
