A simple tile-matching game. Each piece is a square, mathematically
equivalent to a 2x2 piece where each cell is one of four colors.
Players have a "hand" of tiles, and take turns putting a tile onto
the board (subject to edge-matching constraints) and drawing a new
tile into their hand. Tiles have dots on them that roughly correspond
to how likely it is for another tile to match with them, and you
score points based on the number of dots on the tiles touching the
tile you just placed (but the number of dots on the tile you just
placed itself doesn't affect your score). The game comes with
a starting tile and a complete set of 70 tiles where all combinations
are represented.
A very simple game in theory but very well-execited. Each tile has
a Photoshop "twirl" effect in the center of the tile, which creates
a unique look that distinguishes the game but without detracting from
actual gameplay. The tiles are made of high-quality die-cut cardboard
and are pleasing to hold. The gameplay itself is simple enough for
a child to understand, but with just enough strategy for an adult
to not get bored. I didn't expect to find the game particularly
remarkable, but I was pleasantly surprised.
