## Description
Get ready to don your urban planner hat and impress the queen in Tangram City! The mission is clear: build the most harmonious and rectangular city the kingdom has ever seen. Using double-sided Tangram pieces, you'll fill your square board, trying to balance building construction (red) with green spaces (green). The trick here is that you have an advantage: you know which piece is coming next, allowing for sharper planning. But beware, the board is limited, and the perfect rectangular shape is your ultimate goal. At the end of each round, you earn points for the largest rectangular area formed, and at the end of the game, harmony between the realms and the perfection of the rectangle yield precious bonuses. It's a fast-paced game with simple rules, but it demands good spatial reasoning and strategic thinking. Perfect for those who enjoy a tile-laying challenge with a touch of forward planning and a dash of luck when drawing pieces. If you like abstract games that test your visualization and space optimization skills, Tangram City will win you over. It offers a relaxing yet challenging experience, ideal for quick sessions or for extending game night with friends and family, as it accommodates up to 5 players.

## FAQ
### Is Tangram City difficult to learn?
Not at all! The rules are quite straightforward. You take a piece, place it on the board, try to form rectangles, and balance the colors. You can explain it in about 5 minutes and start playing right away.

### What's the average playtime?
Super fast! Usually between 10 to 40 minutes, depending on how many players are at the table and how decisive they are.

### Is it suitable for beginners to board games?
Absolutely! It's an abstract game focused on puzzles. If you enjoy visual and tile-laying challenges, you'll like it. It doesn't have much rule complexity; the challenge is mostly in your mind.

### How many people can play together?
You can play with 1 to 5 people. It works well both in solo mode, for you to practice your skills, and with the whole group.

The interaction is more indirect. Each player builds their own city, but the competition is about who builds the best city and who gets the end-game bonuses. There's no direct attacking; it's more of a race for points.
