Description

Part of the Games range

The Games range combined bricks with board games: you build the board, the pieces and the accessories yourself and then play with them. Mini Taurus belongs to that line and is meant as a compact version. What sets such boxes apart is that the building is already part of the game. You put time into the construction and can then play with friends or family, until one day everything is taken apart again.

An unusual colour mix

Light bluish grey forms the base, joined by lime, pearl gold and dark red. The pairing of acid green and metallic gold is especially eye-catching and lifts the model out of the ordinary. If you want to widen your collection's colour range, the box is of interest, since lime rarely turns up in larger quantities. The parts list on this page shows which elements are included in which colour, and how many of each.

Few types, clear structure

The 165 pieces are spread across just 36 different part types. That means many bricks appear several times, the build follows a clear structure, and sorting is quick. For a first step into the range this is pleasant, because you do not have to hunt among many special parts. Children can manage it well too, if an adult helps with reading the instructions and sorts the pieces into groups beforehand.

Bricks for other ideas

Although the set was designed as a game, its bricks work perfectly well in models of your own. The “What can I build?” tool shows what else can be made from these 165 pieces together with the rest of your collection. Looking for replacement parts also works through this page. The set dates from 2012 and is mostly of interest today to collectors and tinkerers who like to try older game ideas again.
