Block and Key
Players build in a raised communal playing area by placing three-dimensional clay blocks to satisfy personal request cards. Each turn a player either draws blocks or places a single block into the shared space, then checks completed requests before refilling their hand. Play emphasizes working from a restricted two-dimensional viewpoint while anticipating how placements interact in three dimensions. The game ends when a player completes the required number of request cards for the player count, after which scores are tallied to determine the winner.
