Tesserae
1–5 players · 15 min · 10+
Inspired by ancient art, Tesserae combines elements of dominoes and jigsaw puzzles to form a game of shapes and patterns. Since it doesn't rely on a square grid, tiles will fit together in interesting and surprising ways. The basic game provides a good blend of strategy and luck, while advanced rules allow for either pure skill games, or ones where luck is more of a factor. Suitable for solitaire, one to five individual players, and several combinations of teams.
The game of Tesserae pits players against one another, meshing colored tiles into the ever-evolving play field, each trying to exhaust their supply of tiles while preventing their opponents from doing the same. Skillful strategy can pay off, but be careful -- things can change on the luck of a draw! This is a game that will stretch your brain.
