Sagrada

Colored dice for a window

Roll dice for the most beautiful window in the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona! 90 dice represent glass pieces for the windows and show color and tinge, the lower the die value the lighter the tinge.

At the start you get a board for your window and two pattern template cards – you select one of the four sides and put the card into the board accordingly. Then you receive favor tokens based on your card and a Secret Order; three General Orders and three Tool cards are on display. In ten rounds of the game with two turns each, every player is active once per turn.

At the start of a round, the starting player draws two dice per player + plus one die from the bag and rolls them for available stock for all players. In a move, the active player has two actions in any order: 1. Put a die from available stock into your own window, starting in a corner or at an edge, later next to any die in the window. You follow the requests of your selected pattern template and can never place two dice of the same color or tinge = value next to each other. 2. Put one or two favor tokens on a tool card, depending on how many are there already, and use card ability to influence dice values or positions.

After ten rounds, you score General Order cards, maybe several times if you can meet their requests more than once,, and your Special Order card as well as remaining unused favor tokens minus free slots in your window.

Sagrada first and foremost is a fantastically beautiful game, and also a game with a sophisticated mix of luck in the roll of the dice and challenging decisions on how to use available dice to optimum advantage.
