Thames and Kosmos 696184 Ubongo - Sprint to Solve the Puzzle

Ubongo is a fast-paced, addictive, and easy-to-learn geometric puzzle game. Players race against the timer and against each other to solve a puzzle of interlocking shapes. The faster you solve the puzzle, the more gems you get. The player with the most valuable gem treasure after nine rounds of solving puzzles wins! Here’s how it works: Each player receives a set of 12 polyominos — geometric shapes formed of equal-size squares joined edge to edge in different arrangements. At the start of each round, each player gets a new puzzle panel. A roll of the die determines which polyominos you must use to perfectly fill in the empty spaces on the puzzle panel. Any players who complete the puzzle within the time limit yell out “Ubongo!” and grab a gem at random from the bag. The fastest player also gets a blue gem and the second fastest an amber gem. Each gem color is worth a different amount of points. After nine rounds, the player with the most valuable gem collection wins.

Fun, low tech puzzler

In the tradition of Tetris and also the board game Blokus, you got a game that uses similar shapes and pieces that you have to try to fit together. There is quite a twist on how those other games are played - race the timer and other players! Never a dull moment with this game.

Very fun!

This was a really fun game for the kids to play at my son's birthday party. HIghly recommended, the kids loved it and I did too!

Very fun

Excellent game. Reminded me a lot of Tetris, but it had a different dynamic with the timer and playing in a group. Not to mention there's extra shapes I wasn't used to. Really fun for kids and adults on game night.

Fun puzzle game for family time

Fun game reminiscent of Tetris and a bit more in line with Blokus. This is a little more tense than Blokus because you have to race the timer! Loads of fun!
