My review of Avalanche is its a 17/17. A mistake that I made when I first played is that I placed the game upside down ðŸ˜ž. Note when played upside down its a -1000/17 rating. Later my mom said It was upside down. When I played the game correctly,  I won 5 out of 5 times. That just goes to show, MOM, its a game of strategy, not luck. The game play is, you drop colored marbles from preset holes and try to get them to the bottom.  You add the ones that drop on your turn to a colored section of a card. Note, the marbles must be the same color as the section you place them on. Who ever places marbles on every section of their card first, wins.

This game is a lot of fun to play. We are missing one swinging gate but this doesn't affect the game too much. You pick a card that has 9 holes and two colors. There are three colors of marbles. On your turn, you place a marble, of one of the colors that you need, in a preset hole. It either falls to the bottom or, more likely, gets stuck on a swinging gate. Whatever marbles fall during your turn, are yours to keep or discard. The first person to fill their card wins. I think it's a game of chance. However, I haven't won a single game.
