Ubongo 3D

Ubongo 3D is the three-dimensional take on the real-time puzzle series. Instead of flat shapes, you place wooden tiles over two layers of a puzzle card, and every card has two sides: one for beginners and one for more advanced solvers. Everyone races to fill the puzzle first, so you will hear groans, muttering and the odd triumphant shout. Gemstones are your reward for performance, and the player with the most valuable collection at the end wins. A 2009 game for two to four, about thirty minutes, best with four. Bring good hands and a competitive streak, and be ready to turn a piece around three times.
