Sagrada Board Game | Family Game for Kids and Adults | Dice Drafting and Placement Strategy Game | Ages 10+ | 1 to 4 Players | by Floodgate Games

Sagrada, a board game inspired by the breathtaking stained glass windows of the Sagrada Família in Barcelona, is a true marvel that combines strategic gameplay with stunning aesthetics. Crafted with precision and care, this game is a delightful experience that challenges players to create their own unique stained glass masterpieces. The first thing that strikes players upon opening the box is the sheer beauty of the game components. The colorful translucent dice, representing different shades and numbers, are reminiscent of the vibrant stained glass pieces found in the iconic basilica. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the game, from the custom dice to the carefully designed player boards. The tactile satisfaction of placing the dice on the board to complete intricate patterns is immensely gratifying. Gameplay in Sagrada is elegantly simple yet offers a depth of strategic choices. Players must carefully select and place dice on their individual player boards while adhering to specific placement rules. The challenge lies in balancing personal objectives, public objectives, and the restrictions imposed by the unique board patterns. The game's mechanics encourage critical thinking and forward planning, making each turn a satisfying puzzle to solve. Sagrada's replay value is outstanding due to the variety of tools and objectives available in each game. The inclusion of private and public objectives adds a layer of unpredictability, ensuring that each session feels fresh and engaging. The game accommodates both casual players and those seeking a more competitive experience, thanks to the flexibility of its difficulty levels. The game's aesthetics are complemented by its serene atmosphere, with the soft colors and elegant design fostering a sense of tranquility during play. The clever use of the theme and the integration of the Sagrada Família's artistic inspiration create an immersive experience that goes beyond the mechanics of the game. Sagrada is a brilliant blend of strategy and artistry. Its meticulous design, engaging gameplay, and thematic immersion make it a standout in the world of board gaming. Whether you're a seasoned strategist or a casual player looking for a visually stunning and mentally stimulating experience, Sagrada is a masterpiece that deserves a place on every tabletop.

This was the most fun new game I've played in a while, enjoyed by teens, young adults, and not-so-young parents. We loved it so much that when we gifted it in an exchange (and played it later that night at the same party), we immediately ordered our own set. The pieces are absolutely beautiful and well-constructed. Game play is balanced between individual strategy, other players' decisions, and a little luck of the draw. Games are a good length (10 rounds for about 30-40 minutes total), and turns are quick enough that there's not a lot of waiting on other people. Each game is a little different based on the objective and tool cards drawn for the duration of that game. It did seem like a lot of rules to absorb for the first time we played, but they were fairly intuitive and that just made us really eager to play game #2! One suggestion for players is to find a small flat tray to roll the dice into so that they can be slid to players who might not be able to reach/see them all. A suggestion for developers is that the (unnecessary?) numbers on the tool cards tried to confuse just about every person who we taught to play.

Sagrada is a fantastic board game that delivers hours of entertainment with friends and family! The premise is simple yet engaging, draft colorful dice to construct a beautiful stained-glass window while navigating various placement restrictions. The gameplay is easy to learn, making it accessible for all ages, but the strategic depth keeps every round fresh and exciting. Replayability is one of its strongest features as no two games feel the same, thanks to different objectives and randomized dice rolls. Whether playing casually or diving into competitive strategies, Sagrada offers something for everyone. I love that the games do not take to long to complete. We have definitely gotten our money out of this game and play it almost every game night. It’s a perfect mix of luck and skill, keeping players engaged without feeling overwhelming. The elegant design and gorgeous components add to the experience, making it a joy to play. If you’re looking for a unique, beautiful game that brings people together for endless fun, Sagrada is a must-have!

I hate dice games but I love games that take random dice rolls and ask you to do something strategic with them. So while the luck of the dice color draw and roll may or may not work for your plans, you do have agency in the use of those dice in regards to choosing and playing them appropriately in your 'window'. Players can block others with their choice of dice-taking but it's not as cut-throat or strategic as 'Azul' in that regard. The variety in the dice and all the different cards also give Sagrada a high replay value. Your play area, or 'window', has its own card with set numbers and colors you need to match and work with; the ways you get points are based on cards that are different each game; you get a different personal goal each game; and there are variable 'tool' cards that give you different ways of swapping dice or changing your board. Sagrada also has a relatively quick play time and is quite snappy with 2 players, making it the sort of game you can play a couple times in a row. It's also very colorful and satisfying to look at with well-made components and you can pack the entire game into half a gallon zip bag if you want to take it somewhere without the box. I have about 100 games in my collection and Sagrada is a great addition. I like to use "Castles of Burgundy" as a very loose comparison, as they are both games that use random dice rolls that require strategy to use, though CoB is a much deeper and longer playing game - Sagrada is a nice appetizer for table top gamers used to meatier games and will likely be a satisfying main course for those new to tabletop gaming.

Sagrada is such a beautifully designed game, both in how it looks and how it plays. The concept of building your own stained-glass window with colorful dice is super creative, and it strikes a great balance between being relaxing and challenging. I love that every game feels different because of the variety of window patterns and objectives. It’s easy to learn but has enough strategy to keep it interesting, especially when you’re trying to plan ahead while other players take the dice you need. Plus, the game is just so pretty on the table, it’s a joy to play every time!

What a fun game. It is not difficult to learn, but it does have enough elements to make it interesting to master. This is a dice drafting game. Which means that each round you will roll a certain number of dice and then pick one. The next player will pick from the remaining dice and so on. There are 5 different colors (red, yellow, green, purple, & blue) of 6-sided dice (90 total). Each player uses an individual game board that has spots for 20 dice (4x5). Each spot tells you whether you have to put a certain numbered die or a certain color of die on that spot, or if any die is acceptable. You can never put two dice of the same color or the same number adjacent to one another. Thus, you must plan ahead and hope the right color die or numbered die is available that round. You draft up to 2 dice each round for 10 rounds and then score. The scoring is determined differently each round with some specific objectives in play based on a deck of cards (I.e. more points for having the same color die in diagonal patterns.) There are too many of these scoring options to cover in this review. Ultimately, the person with the most points wins. There are a few other rules and game options, but you can figure those out on your own with no trouble. I like playing this game with 4 people. The components are really nice and the artwork is beautiful. I don't think you can go wrong with adding this game to your collection.

I read a lot of reviews before purchasing because I wanted to make sure that the game play was easy enough for most people to jump in. I've recently gotten into "board gaming" and have been eyeing games like Sagrada, Azul and Reef. This is my first foray into this abstract gaming concept. To sum up game play, players take turns picking a colored die and placing it on their pre-selected window tile. There are only a few three key rules: you must place a die next to an existing one, you can't place same colored die next to each other, neither the same number next to each other. There are 10 rounds of game play for you to fill up your window. If you play it right, you should be able to fill in every square. So, in all, the rules are pretty straightforward. What gets complicated is the further into the rounds you get, you start to self limit placement options based on past decisions. Along with the just filing in the window, you have public and private challenges that will help you garner points at the end and determine the winner. And while you may think you have the prettiest window, meeting objectives is what actually wins you the game. All in all, me and my kids really liked it. We played two games in a row after opening, the first to get the hang of it and then a second to "really" play. Each game is about 30 minutes and is pretty fun. It makes you think and while there is a competitive aspect, all of that happens at the end. Game play is relatively peaceful and is fun to see how dice are placed. I give this game 5 stars. Great family game, but probably more suited to ages 8 and up. Great for a lazy Sunday afternoon. Not too competitive, not frenetic. Game pieces are really nicely made, die are pretty colors. Overall, I'm very pleased with the game.

We just recently bought this and my husband says it’s the best game he has ever played. The game goes for 10 rounds so it’s fairly quick (especially as a 2-player option), and we love that the scoring objectives and available strategies are new every time. While it isn’t “hard” and there is no emphasis on speed, it gets tricky because the game requires focus on colors, numbers, and patterns all at once. The pieces themselves are high quality and it’s a visibly beautiful game. Also, the instruction video linked to the QR code on the insert was super helpful for learning to play. Our 12yo son also really enjoys and usually smokes us at this game!

One of the best and captivating board games. Each game is unique, and the game accessories are of great quality!

日本で入荷しているショップが少なかったのでこちらで購入致しました。商品到着までが非常に速く、すぐに遊ぶ事ができ有難かったです。ただ、製造元の問題かと存じますがパッケージの印刷が完全にズレておりました(箱のステンドグラスの絵の光沢のある部分です)。輸入品とはいえ出来れば事前に教えて戴きたかったです。

Bellissimo gioco adatto a tutti. Le partite durano 30-40 minuti massimo e ci si diverte

Excelente juego!! La calidad del juego es muy buena, los colores son vibrantes es muy bonito de ver. El juego es "rápido" pero depende de que tanto pienses en cada ronda, lo he jugado en solitario y con 3 personas más y es muy entretenido, estratégico y excelente para pasar el tiempo. 100% recomendado, fácil de entender y entretenido.

Great dice drafting and placement game. Also, such a looker on the table.
