Ingenious
Place paired hex tiles on a shared hex grid to build lines of colored symbols. Each tile has two colored hexes; on a turn a player places one tile, scoring for each hex by counting adjacent and straight-line runs of matching color. Players keep six tiles on a rack, refill after each turn, and may redraw when their rack contains no tiles in their weakest color. Achieving a color total of 18 grants an immediate extra turn. The game ends when no more tiles fit or a player reaches 18 in all colors; the winner is the player (or team) with the highest lowest-color score.

Hace ya muchos años que jugué por primera vez a #Genial en un evento y nos da mucha alegría que vuelva a reeditarse. Con una mecánica sencilla y una temática que no es concreta, #Genial es un juego que puede gustar a cualquier tipo de público, siendo un abstracto que requiere de una estrategia no muy elevada y que se puede disfrutar en todos los grupos. Me da mucha rabia y pena la bajada de calidad en esta reedición, sin embargo, esto hace que el precio sea muy económico, haciéndolo un juego muy asequible y apetecible para su compra. Dejando de lado esto, es indudable que #Genial es todo un clásico que nunca pasa de moda y que continuaremos disfrutando en todos los hogares gracias a esta nueva edición.
