About the game
What you do in a play session
In El Baujaus, you become a pattern architect, placing tiles to enclose color groups and score points. Each move transforms the board into a dynamic mosaic where spatial strategy is key. Beware: your mistakes become opponents' points! The game starts simple but quickly evolves into a brain-burning puzzle - the more you play, the more strategic layers you uncover. Perfect for abstract game lovers who enjoy mixing logic with creativity. Works great with large groups (up to 12 players!), with games lasting 15-50 minutes depending on player count. Rules are easy to learn, but mastering tactical possibilities is another matter entirely...
