PLAYED FOR YOU
Gravitas
SLIDE NUMBERS, SCORE SUMS
Fettdruck bitte beibehalten
On a board of 5x5 squares, made from beech wood, you can play three different games. You use the same components for all three games, 12 number tiles in your color, 4x of value One, 4x of value Two and 4x of value Three, augmented by one neutral game called Sandstein or sand stone which is used by both players. There is only one rule for all three games: The sand stone sits in the middle of the 5x5 board at the start of the game. In a turn you slide one of your 12 number tiles of values 1-3 into the board by one square; tiles already there are shifted by one position, but can never be pushed off the board! When the board is filled you score: In the Linien game you score uninterrupted vertical and horizontal lines on the board, in your color, an uninterrupted line of five tiles in your color scores double its value. In the Zentrum game you score tiles of your color in the 3 x 3 center area of the board and those in the corners of the board; if the sand stone sits somewhere in the center area it doubles a line it sits in. In the Zahlen game you score connected groups of one number of your color; the sand stone connects groups and a group of all four numbers of one value scores double.
It is suggested in the rules that you play two games of a kind with a change of starting player for the second game, after two games the player with the highest score wins. Gravitas is elegant, simple and - like all other games in the Intellego range of games - a lot more of a challenge than it seems at first sight. All variants play well, to me the hardest variety to win seems to be the Zahlen game.
