Product Description
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.Contents: 36 double-sided puzzle boards, 72 gems, 4 sets of 12 puzzle tiles, 4 pawns, 1 sand timer, 1 die.; No. of players: 2-4 Ages: 8+ Playing time: 20-30 minutes

Brief game review
By Steven Boddorff
If you've played with Tangrams in the past you'll like this game. The pace is much quicker than expected, which is fun for me at least, but if you like slow, thinking games, this might not be for you. The added element of colored gem collection gives a flashgame feel to it and makes it more of a race and less of a repetition of puzzles.

Great for young and old, think Tetris a little...
By Jadecat
I purchased this game based on other reviews I read, and the fact that it is kid friendly. It needs 2-4 players and each player gets a board that has 2 sides to it. You put cut out shapes on the boards, making sure they fit exactly into the shape. Kind of hard to explain without photos, but it is a bit of a puzzle game, the first person to fit their pieces into the correct shape gets their first choice of a gem. You are under a time limit also, so the pressure is there. So each player can win at a round and get a gem, but if you come in first, you have the best choice. There are 36 boards, played over 9 rounds..(9x4). ANYWAY, the kids love it, I just asked my 12 year old what game should I order to give as a gift, and she shouted this one out. It is a 'fun' game, not a strategy game, sort of in the Blokus style. FUN!
