Aqualin Review and Teach. A simple to learn but hard to master two player abstract tile laying game.

Description provided by Tabletop Bellhop on YouTube:

I love discovering new two-player only board games, especially games that are easy to learn but difficult to master, with bonus points for having a small footprint. Aqualin fits all of those criteria. Watch to find out my thoughts on this two player tile laying game that features excellent component quality and quick, simple to learn, rules. It's so simple to learn that I teach the entire game in 47 seconds!

During the game, each player attempts to group together as many matching tiles as possible, and to form the most groups. One player works to create groups of the same colour, while the other makes groups of the same type of sea creature. The bigger the group is, the more points it’s worth. At the end of the game, whoever has the most points wins. ******************** Links: Head over to the Tabletop Bellhop blog where you'll find more tabletop gaming content, including game and game night advice, reviews, and more: https://tabletopbellhop.com Read my more detailed Aqualin review on the blog: https://tabletopbellhop.com/game-reviews/aqualin/ Pickup your own copy of Aqualin (affiliate): US https://amzn.to/3HkKG9O Canada https://amzn.to/3hflSWb Aqualin https://amzn.to/3hiElRG ******************** Sign up for our newsletter to get a heads up on all of the content we release each week: https://newsletter.tabletopbellhop.com Find us all over the web: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tabletopbellhop/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/tabletopbellhop Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tabletopbellhop/ Twitch: https://twitch.tv/tabletopbellhop
