About the game
Step into a world where art defies gravity and stone becomes dream. Shape forms, balance light and nature, and bring to life the visionary style that redefined architecture. Antoni Gaudí was a visionary Catalan architect born in 1852, renowned for his imaginative and distinctive style that blended Gothic and Art Nouveau influences. Players will travel through Gaudí's life and work, earning Victory Points in the three pillars that shaped his works: Nature, Catalonia, and Religion. To succeed, players must keep their progress balanced—only their two lowest VP scores among the three pillars will count toward final scoring. Points are gained by playing cards and placing 'Trencadís' tiles on their personal boards. 'Trencadís' is a Catalan word that means “a lot of little broken things”. While playing, you’ll discover some of these intricate details depicted on the cards and experience the creative joy of arranging your own trencadís patterns on your personal board. ). Each pillar awards VP differently: Nature points are mainly earned through Nature cards, Catalonia points are mostly scored at the end of each round, and Religion points are primarily tallied at the end of the game. The game unfolds over three rounds. In each round, players take turns moving around the central Chandelier on the main board, carefully choosing where to stop in order to perform key actions—drawing cards and collecting various types of Trencadís tiles. These resources are then used to play cards and progress up the Chimneys on their personal boards. Each round concludes once all players have completed a full circuit around the Chandelier. At the end of the third round, the player with the highest and most balanced combination of VP will be declared the winner! —description from the publisher
