Pegasus Intarsia

From Michael Kiesling, the designer of Azul, comes another strategy masterpiece. Players take on the roles of craftspeople who specialize in the art of Intarsia, a delicate and elaborate form of woodworking that results in beautiful parquet flooring. You have been asked to redesign the stunning floor at the reknown Café de Paris, embellishing it with stylish intarsias. However, this is a contest: you must prove that you are more skillled at your craft than your competitors. Intarsia is a game of careful choices. As an artisan, your work will be defined by the materials you collect, the wood you purchase and add to your personal floor board, and your ability to score achievements as you gently settle each interlocking element into place. By claiming a tool each time you satisfy its particular design requirements of wood colors and arrangement, you gain even more expertise and accumulate ever-larger scoring multipliers. After three rounds, the player with the most points will claim victory and secure their legacy with the lucrative contract to renovate the intricate floors of the Café de Paris.
