About the game
Hey board game enthusiasts! Remember that video game craze where you fit pieces to make lines and clear them? Well, Project L brings that nostalgic vibe to the table, blending the fun of puzzles with a super elegant abstract strategy. It's a game that challenges you to build a piece-generating engine, fitting colorful polyominoes onto recessed boards that offer a fantastic tactile experience. The core idea is simple, but the strategic depth is surprisingly rich!

In Project L, you start with a couple of basic pieces and, each turn, you have three actions to spend. The goal is to complete puzzles that are available to everyone, using your pieces. When you finish a puzzle, you earn victory points or new pieces to supercharge your engine. The more pieces and different types you have, the more efficiently you can tackle the more complex challenges. It's a race to see who can best optimize their actions and build the most powerful engine to dominate the table. The acrylic pieces are a highlight, with a clean look and impressive durability. Get ready for a fast-paced, addictive game that will leave a lasting impression on your collection!
