Ubongo Shimo
1–4 players · 25 min · 8+
Ubongo Shimo follows the Ubongo formula of everyone trying to solve a puzzle quickly.
" Ubongo Shimo " is the latest family game by Grzegorz Rejchtman, creator of the best-selling "Ubongo" series. This time, all players will try to arrange a pattern on their cards as quickly as possible so as not to cover the indicated special fields. Four difficulty levels allow you to adapt the game to the age and experience of players.
Each player gets a set of 10 blocks in the color of their choice. At the beginning of each round, players reveal new cards (4 difficulty levels are possible). The drawn card indicates which blocks that must be used to solve the challenge. Then, all players simultaneously try to arrange the pattern as quickly as possible so that all white squares are visible through the holes in the blocks. The first player to complete the pattern calls out "Ubongo" and turns the hourglass. The rest of the players have one minute to complete their challenge and score a point.
