Playing Time: 30-45
Weight: Light
Genre: Dice Drafting
Designer: Adrian Adamescu, Daryl Andrews
Players: 1-4 players
A gentle, focused dice drafting game where players compete to build the best stained glass window. Each player starts with a pattern of colors and numbers, and take turns drafting dice in hopes of completing their pattern. The task is made easier by the fact that all patterns have plenty of blank space that can hold other dice, but complicated by the fact that you can’t put two dice that share a characteristic (number or color) next to each other. Players try to complete their patterns, as well as achieve other dice placement goals.
Sagrada has been a staple filler game at my place for ages. It’s easy to teach, quick to turn, but still capable of providing quite a brain burner of a challenge. You can dodge the (overpriced) expansions, though – the base game is more than enough.
