AQUA

A set collection tile placement game for two museum curators.

Player: 2 . Time: 15 minutes . Age: 10+

Designer and Artist: Ta-Te Wu

You are curators, seeking to create the best setup for the new water-themed exhibit at your art museum. One of you believes very strongly in the power of vertical alignment, while the other argues that the focus should be on horizontal structure. You will each take turns placing the paintings in the exhibit, and once you’ve finished, you’ll earn presentation points for the horizontal or vertical groupings of the artwork. When the exhibition ends, the curator with the most points wins!
