De Stijl (2014)

About this game

Craft Your Masterpiece! Experience the simple and elegant spirit of the De Stijl movement! Use your artistic eye to create vibrant patterns on the table's blank canvas, and make your color stand out as the focus of the finished pieces! With each passing turn, you will add the strokes of your brush to the painting by choosing a card and laying it to overlap a small portion of the piece. As you add cards to the painting, you will masterfully guide its mood. Strategically add, split, and cover cells of color to ensure that yours is the most prominent. Master "the style," and make your mark!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.8/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
