Extreme variant is more successful than the original

While you had to cover locating surfaces in "Original", which were made up of squares, there are now hexagons. That makes it a little more complicated. A lay board has two sides, on one you will find figures that need to be covered with three guide parts, on the other those of four parts. Depending on the desired level of difficulty If you decide before the match, which version is taken. It will play nine rounds. Whoever has the most points wins.

There are color plates that can be done together with colorful gems in a linen bag. At the beginning of each round, each player draws one of these plates and takes a lay panel. He takes the corresponding fixing parts that are displayed there and meet his newly-drawn color. They are not only recognized by the form, but also provided with numbers, so you can find them easily. Does everyone have his stuff together, the hourglass is turned over and everyone is trying to cover the laying surfaces with its parts. After you finished, you call out loud "Ubongo" and gets gems as a reward. Who is ready for the first gets a stone, which is worth three points, in addition, the second a one-point gem. In addition, anyone who could put after that his character may move a stone from the bag. There are four colors, which are each worth between one and four points. So that luck plays an additional role. It may be that the second winner of a round gets only two gems that are worth one point each, while the last one draws, which is worth four points and thus receives double points. So too great frustration is avoided, which could arise when the players are sent differently.

Very successful, this innovation was to pull the gems from a bag. In the previous version you had them yet herunterklauben of a board that not even particularly well kept. In addition, one was constantly distracted to keep the value of the stones in the eye. Here is "extremely Ubongo" a significant improvement.

Whether figures from squares or hexagons are placed rather, perhaps a matter of taste. What is certain is that this version is much more demanding. Especially the figures that need to be placed into four parts, are very complicated. The recommended age of eight years is almost too low here. Those without playing partners, can also submit "just so" put the figures and exert.

"Ubongo extremely" distinguished by the fact that it is extremely easy to learn, but doing the players call. It trains the combination and spatial awareness and makes up a lot of fun. The only thing missing is the interaction between players, as each work alone.

Even "Ubongo" was a great game, the extreme variant is however still a whole lot better advised by the successful awarding of points.
