Description

In Microchip, 2 to 5 players compete to create a structure that looks like a microchip with tiles depicting paths and connections.

Rules overview (please refer to rulebook):

MATERIAL

• 5 boards
• Bag
• Box
• 60 tiles in 5 colours, with the same distribution for each colour.

The initial setup depends on the number of players.

Players draw tiles according to some simple constraint and place them on their boards so that:

- The tile colours must match colours of the spaces they’re placed on. The square colours are a bit lighter for clarity.

- The connections of the tiles must match with those of the adjacent tiles (if any).

- Open connections towards the board edge are forbidden.

They can test and re-arrange the tiles on their boards during play.

After all the tiles have been drawn, the players will enjoy a few minutes to build their final microchips. There can be some tiles unused.

The player that created the most valuable microchip wins. The microchip value is the sum of the connections of each of its tiles. Unused tiles are worth minus 2 points.
