So I bought this game for my husband for Christmas and it came extremely late like in January so that was kind of sucky. But that doesn't take away from the game itself it is actually a really fun game and I can see why it won awards. I played with my husband and my brother-in-law my brother-in-law wasn't so interested in playing it. My husband was on the fence like yeah I could see how it would be fun and I'll keep playing with you. And then there was me who was like oh my gosh this is actually really fun. It is a strategy game I was trying to just make sure like I could increase myself without sabotaging the other players but the other players were looking at my future stuff trying to sabotage me because well that's the kind of people I was playing with. The instructions are kind of long and lengthy. But I looked for a how to play on YouTube and there are some really long ones and then there was some shorter ones and I found this one that was like only three or four minutes long it was just a really quick video of how to play just like the quick like you need to know this and I was able to pick up what I needed to do with that and then scan through the rule book. And I picked it up pretty fast.So basically there's three routes The first round you have all of your tiles in the middle and on each little circle and when it's your turn you can take either from the center or from one of the circles but if you take a color you have to take all of the colors and then you are going to fill them in onto your line. The first round is just going around in this until all of the tiles are played. once all the tiles are played you get to move on and the goal of collecting the tiles is to fill out your line you will see there is a shaded spot there's a 5 4 3 2 1 spot. if you have successfully filled them in with all of one color the next round you will get a point.So the next round if you have fully filled out a line you get to move one of the pieces over to its corresponding spot. And as you do you get to take a point if there is any other one in the row or column you also get to take those points So if you move the blue piece over and then there's already two others down vertically from it you get three points if there is one horizontal from it you also get another point but you get to count your first one twice cuz you count everything in the horizontal row you get those points and then everything in the vertical row and you get those points. Then from there whoever has the one player token gets to start the next round. And they randomly fill in all of the spots again. Then you play the first round again filling up the floor and then moving them over and you keep doing play one and play two until somebody gets a horizontal line all the way filled. Then you finish the game and you add up the rest of your points.it was a little confusing to start with but once I got the hang of it it was actually really quite fun because you have to strategically plan out when you are going to collect certain things. And kind of plan what your opponents are going to do because they might take what you're looking for and then you might not be able to finish your row. I'm excited to keep playing this game. And don't be intimidated by the long instructions it's actually pretty simple once you get the hang of it.I hope my review has been helpful. If it has been helpful, please hit the helpful button.

Great family game to build critical thinking and strategy skills. Easy to learn

Really enjoyable, casual tile placing game. Easy to learn and fairly fast paced game. Some strategy involved, but fairly light. Good for playing with gamers and non-gamers alike. Will be trying out some of the expansions in the future.

First rule! Player who was last been to Portugal. Love it. The game is beautifully made. The tiles are thick plastic, not just cardboard or thin chip type plasitic. Lots of thought went into the game and design. The price is remarkable considering the quality. The game play even without the official scoring was fun. It’s very satisfying in general. The pacing is about medium.

This is the second time we bought this game so we could give it as a gift. This is a great family game. Lots of strategy for adult players but even our 3 year old understands the gist of it and only needs a little assistance placing her tiles later in the game. She usually leaves the game after a few rounds or ends up playing with her tiles but our older kids enjoy playing the whole game. We do have a family rule of no deliberately sabotaging another player (looking at you Dad!) and can even be played cooperatively by trying to get the highest total score between all players.I do wish there was a way to play with more players.

Fun game. There is a bit of a learning curve the first time. Its a nice change in the typical game format

Try the blank side after you've played a couple of times!!No stress, easy setup and take a part, quick and fun to play. What else could you ask for??I just wish i could find blank times so that i could pain a custom set of tiles to play with.
