Genial (2024 Edition)

Genial is an imaginative board game, with simple rules and easy learning. Genial is an incredible intellectual challenge that is capable of engaging all audiences. This ingenious game, created by renowned designer Reiner Knizia, has been nominated for the prestigious German Game of the Year award in 2004. It is one of the few board games that offers the possibility of solo play. Brilliantly simple and just great!


The way the game works is as simple as it is addictive: the hexagonal board is made up of small hexagons that resemble the composition of a beehive. Each player takes a number of tokens from a bag that he keeps hidden. The pieces, made up of two symbols each (like dominoes), are placed on the board at the discretion of each of the players. There are six types of symbols (each one has a different shape and a different color, to be easily recognizable), then there are chips with all kinds of combinations. And the game consists of combining the pieces on the board (again like dominoes) to get points and, at the same time, prevent your rivals from achieving high scoring combos.


Genial is a tremendously addictive puzzle and strategy game for the whole family.


In this new edition of Reiner Knizia's classic game, all components have been redesigned to make the gaming experience more comfortable and simple.
