The word “nizam” is derived from the Arabic word, Nizām, meaning “order”, “arrangement”. The board game “Nizam” is an abstract game, where you play with gems. The aim of the game is to get more victory points than your opponent /opponents. You collect victory points by putting three or more similar gems in a row. But you perform this in a special way. The game also has the alternative variant of playing when the player completed the mission of all eight gems wins.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 5. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 1.8/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 7 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
