Gridlock Corner

1–1 players · 15 min · 10+

Gridlock Corner is a challenging solo or co-op card game in the spirit of Saashi & Saashi. It captures the typical feeling of spatial puzzles, bitter dilemmas, and cozy yet ruthless optimization.

You run an "urban planning office." Your task is to perfectly balance a 4x4 grid. The problem: The building regulations (rows and columns) constantly contradict each other.

The game has 16 rounds if the grid is filled with cards. Then you count your points incl. the negative ones.

You only need a standard poker deck for this game.
