Scarabya review

Scarabya is a tile-laying puzzle game that's surprisingly engaging for its simple premise. The goal is to create enclosed zones of 1 to 4 squares on your board, scoring points based on the number of squares and scarabs within each zone. The game is surprisingly strategic, despite its straightforward rules. Each player receives the same tiles, but the order in which they are drawn and placed creates a unique challenge each time you play.

I enjoyed the game's simplicity and the fact that it's easy to learn, making it perfect for a casual game night with friends or family. The game is also great for solo play, offering a fun puzzle-solving experience. While some reviewers have mentioned minor issues with the component quality, such as the tiles being a bit thin or the boards not fitting perfectly within their frames, I haven't found these to detract from my enjoyment of the game.

Overall, Scarabya is a great choice for anyone looking for a quick, engaging, and strategic tile-laying game. The low purchase price and excellent replayability make it a great value for money. I'd definitely recommend this game to anyone who enjoys puzzle games or those looking for a fun and accessible game to play with friends and family.
