Happy Rainbow^*

Happy Rainbow is a cheerful dice game from HABA for children aged 3 and up. Two to four kids collect coloured arches until their rainbow is complete.

What is it about?

Each child has their own rainbow board and collects the matching coloured arches. The first to complete their rainbow wins. Raindrops help fill in any colours that are missing. Designed by Marisa Peña, it stars Flip the squirrel. A round takes about 10 minutes.

How a turn works

1. Roll three dice.
2. Reroll once if you want to.
3. Two matching colours? Take that rainbow arch.
4. Two raindrops? Take a raindrop to swap for a missing colour later.

What kids practise

• Recognising and matching colours
• Making simple decisions
• A first taste of push-your-luck with the reroll
• Waiting their turn and handling luck

Who is it for?

Conclusion

Happy Rainbow is exactly what you expect from HABA for the youngest players: bright, short and easy to explain. The reroll adds a small dose of tactics. Most kids will outgrow it around age 6. For toddlers and preschoolers, it is a lovely first step into board games.
