Ta Yü

Get ready for a game that will make you think about connections! In Ta Yü, the idea is simple: two teams face off on a 19x19 board, each with a different objective. On one side, the blue team wants to connect the west and east edges. On the other, the red team tries to connect the north and south edges. The magic happens when you draw a tile and decide where to place it, expanding the network of rivers that starts in the center. But be warned: each tile has a 3x1 shape and only three connection points. And the score? Ah, that's the trick! It's not enough to reach the edges; you need to multiply the distance reached on one edge by the distance on the other. In other words, focusing only on one side won't lead you to victory, because zero times any number is always zero. To add extra spice, there are three special points on each side that are worth double if you manage to reach them. This adds a tactical layer, forcing you to think about both offense and defense, and to decide the best use for each tile you draw. Ta Yü is a fast-paced, strategic game that tests your ability to plan and adapt. Perfect for those who enjoy a good abstract challenge with a touch of teamwork.
