Description

Now, Ubongo goes two-player! Each player tries to solve the same puzzle with the same tiles faster than their opponent. The scoring mechanism from the original has also been revised, as there is no time limit to solving the puzzles (which are harder than in the original)

Gameplay: Each player receives 21 puzzle tiles and a stack of puzzle sheets. Both players lay the puzzle tiles down in front of them. Rolling the 20 sided die determines which of the tiles are used in the specific rounds. The players then try to solve every puzzle sheet as quickly as possible by laying the appropriate tiles on it. The faster player to do this yells 'Ubongo!' and moves their pawn one step forward on the scoring track. The first player to win five Ubongo duels wins the game.

Quotes (from this video)
  • The Morrigan Game Factory though, what a great escape room game. It might it's it's definitely in my top escape room games.
  • Noobs in Space is one of my favorite little games that's so unique and interesting. You have a deck of cards, you deal them out to everybody. Everybody has cards in their hand, and then you just solve those cards by saying things out loud, working together to play cards, and hopefully you solve it. It communication is the key. You can say anything you want, uh but you just can't show cards. And it's hilarious and fun. Very, very enjoyable.
  • If you really like what we're doing here at the Dice Tower, then there are different ways to support Dice Tower.
  • Tell your friends about the Dice Tower.
