HAVE YOU PLAYED?
SAGRADA
Let a full spectrum of light flow onto your gaming table and make a masterpiece while you’re at it with Sagrada
Words by Christopher John Eggett
The Sagrada Família is everyone’s favourite building site. A monumental undertaking (literally) by famed architect Gaudi, it was started in 1882 and due to interruptions like the Spanish Civil War, a couple of World Wars, and Gaudi’s death, it’s still not complete. Apparently it will be finished by 2026, when it will lose its title as everyone’s favourite building site and everyone will have to ask if it’s actually good.
Luckily, a game of Sagrada, the 2017 dice placement game by Adrian Adamescu and Daryl Andrews, won’t take us quite so long, sitting closer to 30-45 minute mark, rather than nearly a century and a half. It is nearly as delightful however, offering players 90 beautiful stained-glass-like dice to build their own stunning cathedral windows out of – but of course, we can’t just throw them together. We’re here to create a masterpiece.
