m. c. de marco: To invent new life and new civilizations...

Another cool game I learned at Arisia was Tesserae by Jonathan Venezian. It’s a tile-laying game with shapes resembling unmarked rhombuses for a Penrose tiling. Since actual Penrose tiles are so hard to come by, I’d be tempted to mark up the backs and have two toys for the price of one.

You can pick up a copy at various Boston game stores and museum shops, or contact Jonathan to get Tesserae into your area game store.
