Sagrada

Description

--- "Sagrada" is a dice-drafting board game where players construct stained glass windows, balancing placement rules, tools, and scoring objectives for the highest score. Key mechanics include: - *Dice drafting* Players draft dice in rotating player order, snaking back after the last player takes two. - *Grid construction* Build a dice grid on player boards with restrictions on colors and shades (values); no adjacent dice of same color or shade. - *Tool usage* Spend skill tokens on special tools to break rules; first use is cheapest, subsequent uses by others cost more tokens. - *Variable scoring* Achieve points via patterns, placement varieties, and secret bonuses for dark shades of a hidden goal color. Sagrada challenges players to craft stained glass window masterpieces by drafting dice and placing them on personal grids with strict restrictions: specific colors or shades (dice values) allowed in each cell, and no adjacent dice sharing the same color or shade. Drafting occurs in player order with the start player rotating each round, snaking back so the last player drafts twice initially. Special tools allow rule-breaking at the cost of skill tokens, with escalating costs for subsequent uses by other players. Scoring varies per game based on fulfilling patterns, achieving placement varieties, and earning bonuses for dark shades of a secret goal color. The player with the highest-scoring window wins. ---
