Festival — How to Play
Video tutorial · playthroughs & reviews

The great cities of the world are challenging each other to stage the most spectacular festival imaginable, culminating in a dazzling closing fireworks ceremony. In Festival, you carefully select tiles to build the most impressive fireworks display on your personal tableau — and, of course, to rack up the most points!

On your turn, draw a tile from one of the stacks in front of you and place it into your 3x3 grid, either on the ground or atop an existing stack. Alternatively, grab an objective card. At the end of each turn, check whether you've satisfied any of your objectives or the shared crowd-pleasers, then move completed goals aside. When someone finishes six objectives — or a firework stack runs dry — the round is played out and points are tallied, with bonuses for matching your board's target colour and firework type.

A light, family-friendly pattern-matching board game for 2-4 players. "I am completely blown away by the thought that's gone into this game." — Tabletop Gaming Magazine. Can you shoot the right fireworks to victorious heights?
