What is Sagrada about?
As a casual gamer, I look for exciting board games to add to my collection. One gem is ‘Sagrada’ and is becoming a favourite to play with friends.
‘Sagrada’ is a beautiful and challenging dice game that is inspired by the famous stained glass windows of the Sagrada Familia Basilica in Barcelona, Spain.
What is the goal of Sagrada?
Using colorful dice as your building blocks, build a beautiful stained glass window. Each of you takes on the role of a master artisan competing to create the most stunning window.
Sagrada gameplay
Sagrada has simple yet strategic gameplay. At the beginning of each round, you draft and place dice onto your personal player board based on specific placement rules. The rules range from matching colors or numbers to avoiding placing certain numbers next to each other. There is a puzzle-solving element to the game as you figure out the best way to place your dice within the rules.
Why is Sagrada fun?
One of the things I love about ‘Sagrada’ is its replayability. The game comes with different window patterns that you can choose from, each offering a unique challenge. In addition, there are also private objectives that players can aim for, such as creating a certain pattern or having specific colors in certain areas of their window. This adds another strategy layer as you balance between scoring your private goals and points based on shared objectives.
You can also purchase tools with favor tokens that you earn throughout the game. These tools allow you to manipulate dice placements or break certain rules, giving you an advantage in completing your window.
‘Sagrada’ also caters to different play styles. If you are an aggressive competitive player, you can sabotage your opponents by taking the dice they need or placing them in unfavorable positions. If you are less confrontational, you can focus on creating a beautiful window without worrying too much about the points.
‘Sagrada’ is a perfect balance of luck and strategy. The randomness of dice rolls keeps the game unpredictable, while the strategic placement of dice and tools allows players to plan and strategize their moves.
If you enjoy puzzle-solving and strategic gameplay, ‘Sagrada’ is worth playing. It also has stunning components and colorful artwork.
