How to Play: The result of the penalty die at the start of the round influences many decisions going forward. The box does come with the magnetic closing top which I still think is the best box in all of gaming. The skip chips are basic purple chips which serve their purpose but are not anything amazing. The colors and images are etched into the side, rather than just a sticker attached and this gives them a nice feel in your hand. The dice included in the game are very high quality. The person with the fewest points wins the game, with tied players continuing to play until a winner is determined.

This will continue until a player has reached 100 points and ends the game. When this happens a player will be awarded the points and a new round begins. Players are not alone in this fight, armed with skip chips that can allow them to skip their turn or ignore a result on a roll. A round will end when a player either rolls a stop icon on the action die or all the dodge dice are removed from the round.

As I tend to brush for a bit longer than the recommended two minutes each time, I found that I used 10% of the battery life each day.I feel like dice games pull on some deep seeded primal instincts.

Oral-B reckons you can use it for two weeks before you need to recharge but in reality, it doesn’t last that long. The OLED screen uses a lot of power, which means that the iO’s time between charges is not great compared to other high-quality electric brushes. The trade-off for the iO’s screen is battery life. There’s also the option to sync data to Apple Health (if you’re an iPhone user) and plan “dental care journeys”, but these are really just other ways to log and assess your brushing. Do you really need to gamify your brushing routine by collecting medals? Although ‘Captain Gum Guard’ sounds kid-friendly, another medal, ‘Kissable’, sounds less so, so it’s not clear who they’re aimed at or why they’re there, except to fill app space. There are also some daft inclusions in the app. It also keeps track of how long you’ve been using your brush head and can send you an alert to remind you when the three month recommended period of use is up. The app will also keep track of your brushing history, along with an overall percentage score (calculated from how long you brushed, how much coverage you achieved and whether or not you pressed too hard).
