Description

Venice Connection: Mint Tide is a quick and exciting expansion to the original Venice Connection game, designed by Alex Randolph and published in 2018. This 10-minute game for two players is easy to learn, making it accessible to new players while still offering a fun challenge for experienced ones. The introduction of "T" canal tiles adds a fresh twist to the game, allowing players to create new connections and strategies. With the ability to use the reverse side of these tiles for "I" or "L" shaped canals, players have even more options to outmaneuver their opponent. The gameplay remains straightforward, with players taking turns placing tiles to build a network of canals and buildings. The goal is to be the first to "close the loop" by connecting all the canals, or to declare "Impossible!" if you think your opponent has made it impossible to win. With its simple rules and short playtime, Venice Connection: Mint Tide is a great addition to the original game, offering a fun and puzzling experience for two players. The combination of pattern building and tile placement mechanics makes for a engaging and challenging game that will keep you coming back for more.
