Balconia

Living in a big apartment complex can be quite a hustle and bustle. Every resident has their own wishes. One loves gardening and wants to be surrounded by flowers. Another adores cats and is happy with a cat on the balcony next door. And someone else just wants to take a quiet nap. How do you keep everyone happy? In Balconia you build an apartment complex together, block by block, until a five by five area is full. Each building block has four sides with different scenes. On your turn you draw a tile that decides which block comes into play. Then you choose which two sides could be yours and which two you leave to your opponent. After that, the other player decides where the block goes. Next turn you swap roles. It stays a fun puzzle to choose what you take and what you give away. Whoever has collected the most points at the end wins the game. A game takes twenty minutes, just enough for a pleasant moment together at the table.
