LA BOCA

Welcome to the exciting game of La Boca, where time is of the essence! In this game, you and your teammate will work together to create beautiful skylines inspired by the famous town of La Boca. There’s just one catch – you each have different parts of the puzzle! While one player can see the complete picture, the other has the building blocks needed to bring it to life. It’s a race against the clock as you must collaborate quickly and carefully to score the most points!

SETUP

To get started, choose a color to represent yourself in the game. Each player will receive a large player tile in their chosen color, along with small partnership chips that match. But here’s where teamwork comes in – you need to share your chips with each other! Give two of your chips to each of the other players, and they will do the same for you. Place the partnership chips face down beside your player tile, and you’re ready to go!

When you’re ready to play the game, start by placing the game board in the middle of the playing area, where everyone can easily reach it. Make sure to put the point chips in their assigned spots on the board, and place the timer in its designated space as well.

Next, divide the light blue and dark blue task cards into two separate piles, shuffle them, and place them face-down. These will be used during the game.

On the opposite side of the task cards, place the building blocks. Now, you’re all set up and ready to begin the game!

Here’s How to Play:

If you’re new to the game or just want to practice, you can play a round to get familiar with how it all works. Once you feel confident, you can start the actual gameplay.

During each round, you’ll switch partners, so everyone gets a chance to work together. The timer will help you keep track of how long it takes to complete each task.

Before we start a round, we need to decide which cards we want to use. The light blue cards are easier, while the dark blue cards are more challenging. To determine our partners for this round, the oldest player will reveal a partner chip. It’s important that we sit across from our partners so we can work together effectively.

The player who reveals the small chip will place the task card in the slot and start the timer. Once the player says “go!,” the teams can begin working on their challenge. The task card shows us what the finished construction should look like, and we need to match it exactly. There are no exceptions to this rule, and both sides of the card will show a different view.

When you’re building, we can talk to each other, but we can’t see the other side of the card. The blocks can’t move outside of the building area, and we can’t leave any gaps underneath them. Once we both say we’re done, we check the structure, and the person who started the timer stops it.

If our build is correct, we both get points for how long it took us. We’ll each receive the same number of point chips because we worked on it as a team. The game keeps going until we’ve revealed all the partner chips.

END OF GAME

Hey there! I’m excited to tell you about this cool game that I love playing. It’s called “The Endgame” and it’s super fun! Here’s how it works:

First, you team up with another player and play two rounds together. After that, it’s time to tally up the points. The player with the most points wins the game!

Now, let me tell you how you earn points. It’s all about speed! The faster you finish the puzzle, the more points you earn. So make sure to be quick and focused!
