Out of life's many mysteries, these are a few of our favorite
Let's say it's not your lucky day and you draw all wind tiles at the start of the game. This doesn't happen often, but if you are unable to play a tile on your first turn, you must exchange the tiles in your rack (any or all of them), or pass your turn to the next player. [Tip: We think an exchange is usually the best option.]
Yes, you can spend sunstones and halfstones in the same turn you earn them.
No, only sunstones can be used to buy back wind tiles (the advantage of halfstones is that they are unlimited).
Yes, two halfstones can be used to buy an exchange when needed.
No, once you draw tiles from your pool to replace the tiles you have played, your turn is ended.
Yes, you may use a wind tile to move a tile to any open adjacent square on the board.
Yes, as long as your group is comfortable playing in teams, Latice could be played with any number of people (divided into 4 teams, which could also help balance the game across players with varying levels of experience).
There are already many things that use the name "LATTICE", and we wanted a distinctive name that could be tied to the game long-term. "Latice" is actually an Italian word that, not surprisingly, means "Lattice".
Yes! The Latice Instruction Booklet has been translated into English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Chinese, Japanese and Korean, so you can play with your friends and family all over the world.
Yes! Each colored tile has a unique texture that corresponds to that color. Further, we intentionally chose colors with a strong tonal distribution which we tested by desaturating the colors and making sure the game still works. That said, if you're a color-blind player and have suggestions for how we can do better, please contact us to let us know!
