Description

Palago is a quick and strategic tile placement game for two players. The goal is simple: form closed groups of your color by placing hexagonal arch tiles. With a shared pool of 48 tiles, each containing a white and blue arch, players must think carefully about their moves. The game starts with White placing two adjacent tiles, and then players take turns adding two adjacent tiles, making sure edge colors match neighboring tiles. As the game unfolds, the challenge is to surround an island of your color, containing at least one arch, while blocking your opponent from doing the same. With a playtime of just 15 minutes, Palago is a great game for a quick match, and its normal complexity rules make it easy to learn for fans of board games. The abstract strategy and pattern building mechanics will keep you engaged and coming back for more.
