Ingenious: Travel Edition

Get ready for a dose of abstract strategy in a compact format with Ingenious: Travel Edition! If you enjoy quick games that make you think, this travel version of the classic Ingenious is for you. The goal is simple: score points in all six available symbol colors, but beware! Your final score will be determined by the color in which you scored the least. This means you can't just focus on one color; you need to maintain balance to avoid being caught off guard. Each player has a small rack for six tiles, each made of two hexagons, with colorful symbols. On your turn, you place a tile onto the hexagonal board, trying to connect the symbols to existing lines to score points. The longer the line of matching symbols you extend, the more points you earn in that color. If you manage to extend a line to the end of the board, you can even shout 'Ingenious!' and earn an extra turn – a move that can turn the game around! The travel edition features a reduced number of tiles, making the game more agile, yet still challenging. The game ends when there are no more tiles that can be placed on the board. Then it's time to see who did best in their lowest-scoring color and take home the victory. It's the kind of game that fits in your pocket and your suitcase, perfect for those downtime moments or trips.
