What to Expect
You place Trencadís tiles on personal boards and play cards while moving around a central chandelier across three rounds. Victory Points come from Nature, Catalonia and Religion, but only your two lowest pillars count. The game mixes tile placement with card management and round-based action selection that determines the final scoring.
Who Is This Game For?
Gaudí suits experienced family groups and hobby gamers; minimum age is 10 and it supports solo play. With 1–4 players and about 100 minutes playtime, it asks for planning and patience for longer sessions.
How It Works
Each of the three rounds players take turns moving around a central chandelier to choose actions: draw cards and collect Trencadís tiles. Collected resources are spent to play cards and advance up Chimneys on personal boards. Tile Placement is the core mechanic, linked with card play and movement-based action selection.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Dani Garcia, Gaudí ties tile placement to a three-pillar scoring system (Nature, Catalonia, Religion) where only the two lowest pillars count. The game unfolds in exactly three rounds and centers on movement around a chandelier as an action-selection hub. Published in 2026.
