The strategy comes in to play in multiple ways throughout the game. First, players must figure out which link up will make them most successful . Kids can slide already placed links to make room for their own link up, but they cannot pick up any of the links’ feet. They also cannot cross another link, as all of the links’ feet must be flat on the board at the same time.

Players also have to get strategic about which cards they discard when they take a link. They have to decide which link size they need themselves, but also be wary of which cards other players need to make a set.

Although it takes a bit of brainwork to master, Despicable Me 3 Linked Up is simple gameplay that leads to challenging fun. This game will challenge kids to get craft and mischievous, much like the Minions themselves.
