Ingenious: Always exciting — up to the last second! New possibilities appear with every new tile that you place. Maximise your score by placing tiles so the symbols on them align with other tiles in the longest lines possible. However, be careful to ensure no colour is neglected — because the colour with the lowest score ultimately decides whether you win or not. Clever tile placement and a little bit of luck could ensure your victory! It’s ingenious … and it’s hugely entertaining, time and time again
This updated version of the original award-winning Ingenious is an abstract tile-placement game in which the players take turns placing tiles in the shape of two connected hexagons onto a hexagonal grid on the board. The game includes 120 domino-style tiles, each consisting of two hexagons connected along one side.
Each hexagon has one of six coloured symbols in it, with most tiles having two different coloured symbols and some having two of the same coloured symbol. Each player has a board with six tiles on it.
During their turn, each player places one tile from their supply onto two empty hexagonal spaces on the game board. For each of the two hexagons composing this tile, the player scores one point in the hexagon’s colour for each already-placed hexagon of the same colour that radiates outward in a straight line from one of the placed hexagon’s five sides.
If a player’s score in a colour reaches 18, they immediately take another turn. At the end of the turn, the player refills their supply to six tiles.
When no more tiles can be placed on the Ingenious game board or when one player scores 18 in each colour, the game ends. Players then compare their lowest scores, and whoever has the highest low score wins.
This highly awarded, international bestseller is fun for the whole family.
