Description
In Ingenious, players take turns placing colored tiles on a hexagon grid, scoring points for each line of colored symbols they create. The twist is that your score is determined by your worst-performing color, not your best, so you need to balance your efforts across all colors. This abstract strategy game is easy to learn, but challenging to master, making it a great choice for players of all skill levels. With 30 to 45 minutes of playtime, Ingenious is a great fit for a weeknight game night or a casual gathering with friends. It supports 1 to 4 players, and even includes rules for solitaire and team play, offering plenty of variety and replayability. Designed by Reiner Knizia and first published in 2004, Ingenious has become a modern classic, and its lack of necessary in-game text makes it accessible to players of all languages.
