About the Game

Make the connection – choose the direction! Enter the Plumbing Works with your opponent(s) and be the first to reconnect your pipes in this straightforward strategy game. You can win the game with as few as four pieces… but it isn’t necessarily that simple! Sometimes the easiest looking tasks turn into the most challenging!

—description from the publisher

Tile-laying game on a four by four grid with 16 2-sided tiles, where you roll a coloured die to either draw and place a tile, rotate a tile, turn a tile over, or move a tile. Win by forming a line of your own colour before anyone else. All tiles have paths for all four pipe colours.

Despite moves being constrained by the roll of a die, this plays moderately strategically.

A second, no-dice play style is also offered.
