About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey everyone, get ready for a race against time and your opponents in Situation 7! This 1969 game is pure adrenaline, where you and your opponent (or your team!) face off in an electrifying contest to assemble a jigsaw puzzle. Imagine two identical boards, each with its own set of pieces, but with a twist: the pieces are interchangeable, and the only subtle difference is the background shade. The goal? To be faster and smarter than the others! You need to not only complete your own puzzle, covering the entire board, but also keep an eye on the areas marked by black grid lines and special objectives that are worth extra points. Whoever dominates more areas and completes objectives faster, wins. It's a game that demands spatial awareness, agility, and a good dose of teamwork if you're playing in pairs. With quick 20-minute rounds, it's perfect for those who want a dose of competition without the fuss. If you enjoy games that test your reflexes and visual organization skills, Situation 7 might be your next pickup. It's a classic that proves we don't always need complex rules for a fierce and fun contest. Ideal for playing with family or friends who enjoy a fast-paced and visually stimulating challenge.
