ZU Tiles: Hime – Starter Set 1

Picture this: at the table you lay down tile after tile, and slowly a pattern appears that is all your own. That is the feeling of ZU Tiles: Hime, Starter Set 1. This tactical tile-laying game is loosely based on the animals of the Chinese zodiac. You pick an animal (or several) and build your own stack around it. You earn points by making patterns of matching squares, or by capturing your opponent's creatures. The first player to reach 12 points wins. Think of a collectible card game meeting dominoes, but with beautiful anime-style artwork and surprising ways in which the tiles react to each other. The game is more about finding the right combinations than about fighting. That keeps it light and friendly, exactly what you want on an evening with the whole family. No sharp edges, just lots of fun. Take your time, share a laugh, and enjoy every moment together. Starter Set 1 contains the tiles of the Pig, the Rabbit, the Ram, the Tiger, the Horse and the Dog. Enough to start right away and find out which animal suits you best. For 2 to 4 players aged 10 and up, with a play time of around 50 minutes.
