A Kosmos’ oldie but goldie makes its way to Board Game Arena: Ubongo. The puzzle game, that was nominated for several awards upon release and pleased many across the years, is finally available. Interesting fact: did you know that “ubongo” meant “brain” in Swahili?
Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to complete each of your 9 puzzles, over 9 rounds. You will get 3 colorful pieces per round to do the latter, each with a different shape and a different color.
Not only do you have to beat the timer, but you must do it before your opponent(s) and win some gems, each awarding a different number of points. The fastest player gets a blue sapphire and a random gem. The second gets an amber and a random one. If you play the 3 or 4 players version, the third and fourth fastest players get a random gem.
At the end of the ninth round, you add your gems’ value and the player with the most valuable gems wins. And here is the catch: as some gems are picked randomly, being the first to pick does not necessarily guarantee victory, but it definitely brings you closer.
Ubongo requires speed, spatial visualization and a little bit of luck. You can practice in the solo mode and when you are ready to put those skills to the test, click the link below:

A tip of the hat for Grzegorz Rejchtman, the game designer, and Kosmos for letting us get this classic game on the platform. And a big thank you to Mizutismark for crafting this gem for BGA.
That's your Wednesday release,
Until next time, put your brain to the test and as always... take care and play fair!
Ubongo：一次提升大脑的冒险
Kosmos 的经典老游戏《Ubongo》现已登陆 Board Game Arena！这款曾在发行时多次获得奖项提名、并让无数玩家喜爱的益智游戏，终于可以线上游玩啦。有趣的是，你知道“Ubongo”在斯瓦希里语中意为“大脑”吗？
如果你选择接受，你的任务就是在9轮内完成9个谜题。每轮你将获得3个彩色碎片来完成后者，每个碎片的形状和颜色都不同。
你不仅要击败计时器，还必须抢在对手之前完成任务，并赢得一些宝石，每颗宝石都会奖励不同数量的积分。最快的玩家将获得一颗蓝宝石和一颗随机宝石。第二快的玩家将获得一颗琥珀和一颗随机宝石。如果你玩的是3人或4人版本，第三快和第四快的玩家将获得一颗随机宝石。
第九轮结束时，你需要累计宝石的价值，拥有最高宝石的玩家获胜。不过，游戏规则是这样的：由于有些宝石是随机抽取的，第一个抽到并不一定能保证胜利，但绝对会让你更接近胜利。
Ubongo需要速度、空间想象能力以及一点点运气。你可以在单人模式下练习，当你准备好测试这些技能时，请点击以下链接：
