■ Product Introduction
[Basic gameplay]
Each player receives a hand of nine cards.
At the start signal, everyone lines up their cards at the same time, placing them so that two of the marks are adjacent to each other.
You can freely change the orientation of the cards, but they must not overlap two other cards.
Once you have placed seven of the nine cards in your hand, you can shout "Ubongo!" to declare victory.
The first player to achieve Ubongo gets 10 points, while the rest get points based on the number of cards they manage to place.
This is repeated for six rounds, and the player with the most points wins.
[Developing logical thinking skills]
The rules are simple: connect cards like dominoes, but you need to find the best arrangement within a limited time.
It is also expected to have a brain training effect, and is used as a teaching material overseas.
By playing repeatedly, you will develop an eye for finding the optimal placement patterns.
[Two ways to play]
There are two ways to connect cards: using only your own hand, or each player connecting cards from the center of the table.
Both have the same basic rules, so you can choose according to your mood and preferences.
The excitement of the moment when you shout "Ubongo!" and the close battle will be unforgettable memories.
