Fast! Captivating! Simple!
Fast! Because all players are trying simultaneously to cover their Ubongo spaces with the appropriate tiles.
Captivating! Because you don't want to stop and excitedly look forward to the next round.
Simple! Because the rules for playing Ubongo are explained in only a few sentences.
And here's how the game works: Each player receives their own puzzle board and 12 tiles, all shaped differently. Then one player throws the die and turns the sand timer. Which tiles will have to be placed on each player's board is determined by the icon on the die. Now each player tries to place their tiles and solve the puzzle as fast as possible. The fastest player shouts "Ubongo!" and is allowed to move their pawn on the common game board and take two jewels. Meanwhile the other players continue to solve their puzzle - as long as the sand timer is running, they are allowed to place their tiles and collect jewels. The player who has collected the most jewels of one color is the winner! And that player won't necessarily always be the fastest.
The board of this game consists of six rows. On each row, twelve gems (of several colours) are arranged. Each player places his pawn in front of one of those rows.
Each player receives a playing card on which a shape consisting of several squares is depicted. Each player also gets 12 tiles consisting of 3, 4 or 5 squares in some shape. By means of a dice roll, each player is assigned three tiles which he has the use to fill the shape on his card.
Now, the players try to solve their own "puzzle". The race is timed by a sandglass. The outcome of this race determines the play on the main playing board.
The player who was the first to solve his puzzle in time gets to move his pawn up to three rows, the player who came second may move two rows and the player in third may move a single row. The players may collect two gems from the front of the row their pawn is on, so the more rows you can move, the more control you have on what colour gems you can collect.
After collection gems, each player receives a new playing card with a new puzzle to solve, and a new round starts. In total, nine rounds are played.
In the end, the player who has collected the most gems in a single colour wins the game.
