KIKA 2016

KIKA is a simple color-matching game for 2-4 players using rhombus-shaped tiles. To start, place the tiles on the table, choose a first player, then have that player choose one tile and place it in the playing area. Each player then takes turns choosing a tile from the supply (or one of their own tiles, which are also endgame points) and placing it next to tiles in the playing area.

If the tile you place matches one or more adjacent colors, you score points. For each point scored, take any one tile from the supply and place it face up in front of you. These are your tiles, and each is worth +1 point at the end of the game.

The game immediately ends when the last tile is taken from the table and placed. Count your tiles and add any endgame points. The player with the most points wins.

KIKA includes a rule sheet and seven rules cards. (Most of the rule cards are optional as the recommended minimum age for the game is 2 + the number of cards used.) You can choose 972 different combinations, with elements of deduction, memory, area enclosure, push your luck, and more. Try them all to discover your gamer DNA!
