Balconia
Description
Balconia is a light yet clever tactical game for 2 players, where you compete to build the most charming and harmonious apartment complex—one block at a time.
Each resident has their quirks: some crave calm, others adore cats or flowers. Your goal? Strategically arrange building blocks to satisfy the preferences of the balconies facing your side and score the most points.
Gameplay is simple yet deeply strategic. On each turn:
-
One player reveals a building block and chooses two adjacent sides of it for potential scoring.
-
The other player picks one of those sides and places the block onto the shared grid, ensuring it's connected to the existing structure.
Players alternate roles, carefully positioning blocks to maximize their own points while limiting opportunities for their opponent. Tension builds as the apartment complex fills up!
When all 15 blocks are placed, both players calculate their scores based on how well their side of the building meets resident preferences. The player with the highest score wins!
