Step into a world where art defies gravity and stone becomes a dream in this new design from Dani Garcia, the creator of Barcelona, Windmill Valley, Daitoshi, and Arborea. Antoni Gaudí was a visionary Catalan architect born in 1852, known for his imaginative style that blended Gothic and Art Nouveau influences. In this game, you’ll travel through Gaudí’s life and work, earning victory points in the three pillars that shaped his creations: Nature, Catalonia, and Religion. To succeed, you’ll need to keep your progress balanced, because only your two lowest scores among the three pillars count at the end. You earn points by playing cards and placing “trencadís” tiles, the colorful broken-tile mosaics Gaudí made famous, on your personal board. Shape forms, balance light and nature, and bring to life the style that redefined architecture.

Gameplay Overview: Gaudí plays over three rounds. Each round, players take turns moving around the central Chandelier on the main board, choosing carefully where to stop so they can draw cards and collect different kinds of trencadís tiles. You use those tiles to play cards and climb the Chimneys on your personal board, arranging your own colorful mosaic patterns as you go. Each pillar scores in its own way: Nature mostly through Nature cards, Catalonia at the end of each round, and Religion at the end of the game. Since only your two lowest pillar scores count, you can’t just focus on one thing, and that’s what makes every decision interesting. Edu Valls’ artwork is full of beautiful details from Gaudí’s real buildings. It’s a lovely pick for families, art and architecture lovers, and anyone who enjoys puzzly pattern-building games, and it includes a solo mode too.
