In brief

Life in an apartment complex can be hectic at times! Every resident has their own preferences: some dabble in gardening and would like nothing more than to be surrounded by flowers, some are obsessed with cats and are always happy to see one on the balcony next to theirs, and some just want to take a nice long nap. How do you keep everyone happy?

In Balconia, two players build an apartment complex, block by block, by filling a 5х5 grid. Each building block has four sides with different faces, and on a turn one player draws a token to determine which block to place, then chooses which two sides of the building block they might get and which two sides will be left to the opponent — then the other player decides where to place that block. They then swap roles for the next turn. The player with the most pints at the end of the game wins.
