Angry Birds Space

Space Race Kimble

The Angry Birds at long last have taken their eggs to safety, but suddenly a long robot arm from another dimension grabs and kidnaps the eggs and once again the Birds must set out to get them back.

This in short is the background story to the game, which presents the topic of Angry Birds in combination with the game mechanics of Ludo, Pachisi and Mensch ärgere Dich nicht and other versions of the game. The birds must now fend off the robot arm of the thieving pigs in the orbit of the dice planet. This dice planet is represented by a transparent cupola with a die in it; on a game board of clear plastic the bird pieces sit in anti-skid indents, each player has his own set of birds, which are very attractively designed and different for each player. You hit the clear cupola: The die jumps once, turns over and shows a new result; the pips denote the number of steps one of your birds can move forward, but only if it has been brought into play, or, as the story tell us, shot into orbit by rolling a six as usual. And, again as usual, you send birds who sit in a spot where you now land, back to their home spots. The pig spot represent finish spots and must be reached with an exact roll. If you are first to circle the planet with your four birds and land them on the four pig spots with exact rolls, you win. And the “Kimble” in the title is due to the fact that the game can also be found as a hidden Eggsteroid Level in the Angry Bird Space Apps.

Angry Birds Space Space Race is is lots of fun to play, the old familiar game gets a facelift by the spacey boards and components. Go get the pigs, on the count of three!
