Bits

Gets colors into shape

Bits is a placement game based on the placement game Fits, this time it features 20 tiles for each player, made up from two squares in all possible combinations of five colors. A task card is turned up and all players try to form the shape depicted on the card, exactly and as often as possible. Each player draws a starting card and takes the corresponding starting tile for his area. Then one building card after the other is turned up and each player places this tile on his area. The tile must be slid down the ramp and touch either the ramp end or other tiles, and you can fill only gaps that can be filled by sliding the tile, not those that need lifting and replacing the tile. If no-one can place a tile anymore the round is scored. Depending on the task card you must reproduce form and/or color exactly, for the shape no additional area can be bordering along the edges. In each round a task card is added from the corresponding stack and you try to execute all task cards. After three rounds for a standard game and four rounds for an advanced game the winner is the player with the highest score.

Bits at first glance looks simple, but isn’t simple at all in its demands. Because you need to check for formation of exact shapes and must avoid formation of bigger areas, because you do not score with those even when the shape from the task card is part of the area! And furthermore, there are the multiple tasks from the cards, so often you have to choose which what you want to score! Bits offers a challenging placement game with simple rules for fans of abstract topics.
