Ubongo junior 3-D

Place and stack blocks

Ubongo Junior 3-D uses the principle of Ubongo - fill areas correctly, but with building blocks instead of tiles!

The game features eight types of blocks, two types each in four colors, red, blue, yellow and green. You take a set of one block per type. Players decide on one of four levels of difficulty - Beginner, Advanced, Expert and Master - and receive boards, in relation to the number of players, which are stacked with the side selected for use face-down. For a round of the game, the starting player turns over the timer, and each player takes a board from his stack. You try to fill the light area with your blocks, completely and without exceeding the boundaries of the placement area or leaving gaps. If you are done, you build a tower with your remaining blocks, as high as you can manage. There are no restrictions for this stacking, blocks can exceed the placement area and need not be sit on top of each other exactly, all you need is a tower as high and stable as possible. When the timer runs out, all stop to place and build and determine the height of their tower with the Giraffe measuring device; each player controls the area of his neighbor. Only if you filled your area correctly, you draw gems from the bag, according to the height of your tower. After six rounds you win with most gems.

The family edition of Ubongo 3-D has been adapted most successfully for a version for children; the essential elements of filling an area within a time limit and receiving gems for an award are still there and provide lots of fun and also training for dexterity and spatial thinking. The game can also be used as an expansion for Ubongo 3-D.
