In Einfach Genial 3D, players take turns placing colored domino-style tiles on a game board, scoring for each line of colored symbols that they enlarge. The trick, however, is that a player's score is equal to their worst-scoring color, not their best, so they need to score for all colors instead of specializing in only one or two. That description will be familiar to anyone who has played the original Ingenious, but Einfach Genial 3D features three-dimensional building blocks that can be stacked, which means you can now place these tiles on one another, opening up a whole new level to the game.
Ingenious 3D has 4 videos from 3 creators: 2 reviews and 2 how-to-play guides. They date from 2024 to July 2025.
