About the game
In Sedici – Italian for "sixteen" – the sixteen game tiles are split randomly between the two players, with the pieces being placed face-up before each player. Each tile is different, with one being all white, another all black, and the other fourteen being some combination of black and white triangles. On a turn, the player chooses one of his tiles and adds to the grid. Each tile played (except for the first tile) must lie against the edge of a tile already in play with like colors being adjacent to one another – black against black, and white against white – and all of the tiles must fit inside an imaginary 4x4 grid. The first player who cannot legally play a tile loses. In Paradisio, a new version of Sedici that uses island and ocean imagery instead of black and white triangles, the first player to win three rounds wins the game. Both games come with rules for three levels of solitaire play. The goal in all three is to legally place the 16 tiles in a 4x4 square, with the advanced rules requiring you to have one or both colors connected into a single group.

Questions and answers
Paradisio supports 1–2 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Paradisio is 15 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Paradisio for ages 8 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Paradisio has a complexity rating of 1.3 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
