About the game
What you do in a play session
Straight from the Ubongo family comes Ubongo 3D, a version that adds an extra twist to puzzle-solving! Instead of just filling a flat space, you'll now have to fit wooden pieces in two layers, on boards that are true puzzles. And don't worry: there's a calmer side for beginners and another for those who are already pros. The goal is to be as fast and clever as possible to complete the challenges before time runs out (yes, there's a sand timer to add that pressure!). Whoever performs best earns gemstones, and in the end, the collector with the most valuable haul takes the glory. It's pure real-time fun, perfect for livening up the group and testing everyone's mental agility. Get ready to fit, think fast, and leave with a smile on your face (and maybe some pretend jewels!).
