Ubongo

 

Each player has a board and 12 geometric pieces. The die is rolled and the hour glass turned over, the symbol on the die determines the number of pieces that can be used. Each player now tries as quickly as possible to fill his board with the pieces. The fastest calls out Ubongo, moves his playing piece and takes 2 jewels. The other player continue placing their pieces and taking jewels while the sand runs. At the end the player with the most stones of a colour wins, which is not necessarily the fastest player.
