Description

In Ingenious Extreme, players take turns placing colored tiles on a game board, scoring points for each line of colored symbols they enlarge. The twist is that your score is equal to your worst-scoring color, so you need to score well across all colors. With eight colors to juggle, it's a challenging and exciting game for 1 to 4 players. The game is easy to learn, but it requires strategic thinking to outmaneuver your opponents. On each turn, you place a tile on the board, scoring points for adjacent and straight-line colors. If you bring a color to 13 points, you get another turn. The game ends when no more tiles can be placed or one player reaches 13 points in each color. The player with the highest low score wins, making Ingenious Extreme a fun and strategic game that can be played in 30 to 45 minutes.
