Ever wondered what it feels like to be a master of modernism while gaming? In Tribute to Mondrian, you step into the shoes of an artist attempting to create the most harmonious and efficient geometric composition, inspired by the iconic style of Piet Mondrian. The game is elegant, fast-paced, and turns your table into a genuine contemporary art gallery.
The dynamics are simple but require a keen eye. To start, each player prepares their canvas (a sheet) by drawing three initial lines that cannot cross, creating the first white areas. From there, the competition begins. In each round, two cards are revealed: a line card and a color card. This is where the strategic decision comes in: do you prefer to draw a new line following the card's restrictions, or do you prefer to fill an area with the indicated color?
The game flows very quickly because everyone plays simultaneously. There's no boring wait for your neighbor's turn. The challenge is to balance the creation of new areas with the need to fill them, always keeping an eye on the evaluation cards that define what will score the most points at the end. Additionally, you choose a favorite color at the start, which serves as your trump card for extra points.
After 10 rounds, the artwork is complete. It's time to evaluate who best interpreted the composition rules and who used their favorite color most intelligently. It's a perfect gateway game for those who want something light but with that puzzle-like feel that leaves you thinking 'what if I had drawn that line there?'. If you enjoy abstract games, like drawing, or want to introduce board games to someone new, this is the ideal title. It's visually satisfying, easy to explain, and ends with every player having created a unique piece of art!

Is the game hard to learn?
Not at all! The rules are super simple and intuitive. Everyone will be drawing within a few minutes.
How long does a game take?
It's very quick, usually between 15 and 25 minutes, since everyone plays at the same time.
Do I need to be good at drawing to play?
Nope! The game is about basic geometry (straight lines and filling areas), no artistic talent required.
How many people can play?
The game is extremely flexible, supporting everything from 1 player (solo) to very large groups.
Is there much language dependency?
Almost none. There is very little text, and most of the information is visual or easily memorized.
