Game preparation:
The tiles are mixed well and laid ready as undercover deck. Depending on the number of players 2-3 tiles are uncovered and laid out in the middle of the table as the starting field. It is a condition that the tiles are designed so that they yield the highest possible point total - but nobody gets credited ^^.
On the plate are 4x4 colored boxes (blue, red, yellow) displayed that are arranged very differently - no tiles are alike!
A starting player is determined and a player takes over the writing of the dots.
Aim of the game:
Most points to reach!
How to play:
The active player takes a tile from a stack, rotate it around and wondered where he would invest it.
The goal here is of course to get as many points as possible.
The tiles are always created with one side completely to an existing chip and at least one color box must match adjacent on both.
Has he created the plate at a desired, usually compliant site, it will also directly evaluated and recorded the points.
All color boxes are counted, who have formed a connection through the newly laid tile or were expanded (see photos).
The resulting color ranges are counted, each box is worth 1 point.
Thereafter, the next player follows clockwise.
Full time:
Once the last tile has been created, the game ends. The player with the most points wins the game.
Conclusion:
The new edition (2014) of age-old classic is a welcome development, as yet again attention can be drawn to this little gem.
The ingeniously simple, yet enormously challenging gameplay does not have long to fear again to be brought out, because the game motivated so far each equal to want to complete several laps.
The test ran laps all extremely positive and so players of different ages and backgrounds games were equally impressed. Extremely brooder can the pleasant flow of the game may hurt a little.
All in all, it can be confirmed that the game mechanics still working and enthusiastic. Anyone familiar with puzzle games something like just a little start is here lifted absolutely right!
