Watch “Sagrada,” a gameplay video for Sagrada from Gordon Hamilton on BoardGameVideo.
Description provided by Gordon Hamilton on YouTube:
Designers sometimes fail to explore the full game space - Sagrada is a perfect example. On the box it is rated for ages 13+, but my eight year old daughter could pick it up and enjoy it with minor rule changes. Apart from the dice being a little bit fiddly for little hands, this could have been an ideal game for the grade 2 classroom. As it is, Sagrada is a gem. The games are fast - our first was over in fifteen minutes. Teachers of young elementary students will enjoy seeing a game that richly blends both numbers and patterns... but hold off purchasing until basic rules are added and some simplified components are added.
For those of you who are visiting this video for medical reasons, my daughter has Congenital Oculomotor Apraxia. This is a rare condition, and if your child has just been diagnosed with it, you are welcome to drop me an email: gord at mathpickle dot com.

About Sagrada, from BoardGameGeek:
Draft dice and use the tools-of-the-trade in Sagrada to carefully construct your stained glass window masterpiece.
In more detail, each player builds a stained glass window by building up a grid of dice on their player board. Each board has some restrictions on which color or shade (value) of die can be placed there. Dice of the same shade or color may never be placed next to each other. Dice are drafted in player order, with the start player rotating each round, snaking back around after the last player drafts two dice. Scoring is variable per game based on achieving various patterns and varieties of placement...as well as bonus points for dark shades of a particular hidden goal color.
Special tools can be used to help you break the rules by spending skill tokens; once a tool is used, it then requires more skill tokens for the other players to use them.
The highest scoring window artisan wins!
