What Is It?

✨Theme – …Blorps
🎯The Goal of the game is to have the most points
⚙️Drafting – Each turn 4 tiles are available and players draft 1 to add to their play area then refill the tiles for the next player
⚙️Tile Laying – Players must follow placement rules – tiles must touch the same color – and as they create and expand Blorps, they must remember that only completed Blorps will score at the end of the game. Connecting via trumpets will help make Blorps bigger

Who Is It For?

👥2 to 6 Players – You’ll have less tiles with more people, so if you want to build bigger Blorps, you might prefer a lower player count
👥Ages 10 & Up – Approachable gameplay; I think kids will enjoy the look
👥Fans of tile laying games, similar to Carcassonne, and silly themes

PROS

🟢Aesthetics – A unique look
🟢Components – Nice quality tiles and a fun stand to hold them during the game
🟢Easy set-up
🟢Quick turns
🟢Variability for game play with the speed play option

CONS

🔴I don’t love the color scheme
🔴The art is fun … but also kinda creepy
🔴Luck of the draw if you just aren’t getting tiles on your turn to close off Blorps
🔴I don’t feel like the box is designed great for storing everything

Final Thoughts

It’s a pretty solid tile laying game. Connecting the Blorps and needing to close them off felt a little similar to Carcassonne, but with everyone having their own board. I don’t want to look at it too long, personally – for fear that the Blorps can see into my soul – but I think the game works well and if you like tile laying and making connections, you’ll probably have a good time with it!
