Board game - Ubongo
The player who collects the most stones of one color will win. The principle of the puzzles is polyomino, or Italian Tetris. This is when a player has a set of flat geometric shapes (like in Tetris) that need to fill a specific area of a certain shape. It is not so easy, but very interesting.
The essence of the game
Shuffle the deck of task cards and deal one card to each participant. The first player rolls the die with Indian symbols and flips the hourglass – time has started! The symbol that comes up on the die determines which figures the players will use in the current round.
The player's task is to place their figures as quickly as possible to completely fill the shape on the card. The first to do this shouts "Ubongo!" and heads to the board for precious stones. The other players continue to place their figures while the time runs out.
The player who completed the task first has the right to move their token one, two, or three positions (or stay in place) to choose the best row. From the row where they place their token, the player takes the nearest two stones.
The player who comes in second can only move their token two positions. The third – one position, and the fourth stays in place. Players who did not manage to complete the task in the current round do not have the right to take stones from the board.
The game ends when the stack of tasks runs out. The winner is the participant who collected the most stones of the same color.
