Take it Higher!

If you enjoy the vibe of "Take It Easy!" but want to add an extra kick to your games, "Take It Higher!" is your next destination! This souped-up version keeps the core mechanic of placing tiles to form color sequences but adds extra layers of strategy that will make you think twice before each move. The tiles are now octagonal and feature four scoring lines, increasing the combo possibilities. And there's more: the center of each tile can be silver or gold, granting bonus points if you complete a line with tiles that have matching centers. To top it all off (literally!), you can place colored rockets on the tiles that complete lines. These rockets give you extra points at the end of the game, depending on the highest empty space not below a rocket. It's a fast-paced game, perfect for those who want an abstract experience with a touch of space sci-fi, where each placed tile can bring you closer to victory or leave you in a tricky spot. With accessible rules but a good strategic challenge, "Take It Higher!" is a great pick for casual and experienced players looking for something different and engaging.
