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

I’d give this one even more stars if I could! Although it is for 2-4 players, it’s has become one of my absolute favorite duo games for date night. The dice and game boards are stunning, and the colorful pieces make setup and play visually delightful. It’s strategic without feeling overly competitive, and it’s very easy to learn while still offering depth. The components arrived in perfect condition and feel high-quality and durable. Highly recommend if you love games like Azul.

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!

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.

This is one of my new favorite games. Strategic and well thought out but easy to learn. No two games are the same. Everyone we've played it with walked away really loving it too. My husband is not a game player but will play this one with us. It's also beautiful!

Just ordered this game last week after seeing someone on Instragram post how it's the rage with his youth group. My family hosts Family Game-nights Unplugged in which we don't have any electronics or video games. We play them the old-fashioned way with cards or boards. I watched a beautiful tutorial video by Chad Plein on YouTube so I could learn how to play the solo version and then I watched a 2-player game hosted by Watch It Played. I would recommend these videos if you want additional game play instructions or if you like me, are a visual learner. I played 2 solo games and then took it to my sister's house for a game night. Well, my 21 y.o. niece didn't really seem to care for it the first time but for the sake of humoring Auntie she said she would play again. Not sure what happened but she was hooked! 2 days later I was going back for another all night game night and she said, "Don't forget to bring Sagrada." What? We have really enjoyed it. In one week we have already had 3 game nights and you would think we had been playing this for years. We deliberate back and forth on what some of the Tool cards actually mean because prior to this game we had never heard of "drafting" dice. I only knew of drafting in NASCAR and well, this little ballerina girl didn't even understand it in the racing industry. It was just a term I heard! My niece loves the more difficult levels that give her 5 and 6 Favor Tokens or as I call them "Flavor" tokens. I hope and pray I get a level of difficulty with 3 or 4...I don't care much about the Favor Tokens and you get points for each one you don't use. I just want to be able to get my design finished...the easier, the better! I thoroughly loved the solo play as I enjoyed playing my virtual opponent and trying to beat the Target Score. I am giving it a 4-star because the dice are so small that sometimes you drop them when trying to place them on your Window Pattern and you hope and pray you remember the number you were going to use OR that no one else intentionally drops theirs so that they can randomly choose a new numeric value of their choice for game play. Get my gist on what can happen? Also, I wish the Tool Cards were explained a little better. There are illustrations but many of them we didn't understand. I feel Floodgates could have added an extra page or 2 in the manual to thoroughly describe how all 12 Tool cards could be used. Overall, this is a really fun game and I'm so glad it can also be a solo game because that gives me another game I can play when home alone. Because this game is for 1-4 players I am also including the list of supplies that comes in the Sagrada Expansion Set that allows you to add 1 or 2 additional players to your game. Amazon doesn't tell you what all comes in the Expansion Set; just says it's for 5-6 players. I googled the Expansion Set and Barnes & Noble (not Floodgates) provided a list of what all comes in the box. The dice tray is a perk but since I don't see myself being able to recruit more than 4 people to play at once I am ordering collapsible dice rolling trays instead of the Expansion Set. Note: Contents below are for the Expansion Set NOT the game you are looking at above!! Contents: 40 Dice 2 Player Boards (Yellow & Orange) 1 Dice Tray 6 Window Pattern cards 2 Tool cards 6 Objective cards 6 Private Dice Pool boards 2 Score markers 12 Favor tokens 1 Rule book The compartments in the Sagrada box seem to be really deep so I would think you wouldn't have a problem putting the new supplies into your box. My only thought: Is the dice tray collapsible? If it's not then it might be too deep in dimension to place in the original box because of how the black tray with compartments is constructed. BUT one could remove the black compartment tray and re-organize everything! After all, the Sagrada box is fairly deep.

I bought this game on a whim because it looks so beautiful and I was buying a few new games for quarantine. It has quickly become a family favorite! It is simple enough my 8 year old can play it, but it requires enough strategy that my teenagers and myself also love it. You can choose how hard a game you yourself are going to play which makes it nice and accessible to a wide range of ages. I also like that there is a single player version. It is also the most beautiful board game I’ve ever seen. You can really see the attention to detail. The game pieces and packaging are sturdy and well made, not to mention vibrant and absolutely beautiful! If you like puzzle games, Sagrada is a must buy! I’ll certainly be purchasing more for gifts.

I got this for my mom since we were supposed to visit the Sagrada Familia this year but couldn't due to covid, thinking it would be a sentimental gift that we played once for the heck of it. To our family's surprise, it's actually a lot of fun and we played it half a dozen times during the holidays. I saw some people compare it to sudoku and from the once I played that game it seems like a reasonable comparison. But you basically roll a hand of dice and then draft them one at a time with other players to try to complete your stained glass window pattern using different numbers and colors of dice to follow rules that determine how you get points, which change every game (you draw a few cards that determine scoring at the start). For example it might give you a bonus for not repeating colors in rows, columns, etc. or extra points for every set of 1-6 numbers on your board. It's a good brain teaser and every time you play it will be a little different due to the rules changing based on the cards that are dealt. It's also more competitive than you'd think with people like "aggghhh I wanted the die you picked" and overall it was a ton more fun than I expected it to be from the description. The components themselves are also beautiful and high-quality, and I'm happy I bought it!

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。

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.

A good mix of strategy with a little bit of chance thrown in which keeps things interesting. We thoroughly enjoy playing this game. Not too terribly complex either, for new board gamers, which makes it a good one to show friends who are casual/new to board games. 5/5. Highly recommend having in your board game collection.
