Race against the timer & your opponents as you move a set of geometric puzzle pieces to fill in the empty spaces on the puzzle panel!
Ubongo is a fast-paced, addictive, and easy-to-learn geometric puzzle game. Players race against the timer and against each other to solve a puzzle of interlocking shapes. Here’s how it works: Each player receives a set of 12 tiles. The tiles are polyominos—geometric shapes formed of equal-size squares joined edge to edge in different arrangements. At the start of each round, each player gets a new puzzle board. A roll of the die determines which tiles you must use to perfectly fill in the empty spaces on the puzzle board. Any players who complete the puzzle within the time limit yell out “Ubongo!†and grab a gem at random from the bag. The fastest player also gets a blue gem and the second fastest an amber gem. Each gem color is worth a different amount of points. After nine rounds, the player with the most valuable gem collection wins.
Warnings: The event was originally listed with rules of "Ubongo (2nd)." It has been changed to "Ubongo (2nd Edition)."
