Ubongo
Players race to complete a polyomino puzzle shown on a personal card before a sand timer runs out. Each round assigns a specific set of pieces to use; the first players to finish gain better rewards on the shared gem pool. Completed puzzles translate to collecting gems (and in later editions, fixed-point and random gems) according to finishing order. Play proceeds over a fixed number of rounds, and the winner is determined by who has the strongest scoring set of gems at the end.

Cool abstract family game! Fast, really similar to Tetris, but cool for playing with the family. No game like this one! I enjoyed it!
