Temple Rush (2020)

About this game

In Temple Rush, you compete in the annual contest to rebuild the ancient temples of a lost kingdom — with classic interlocking bricks as your building stones. As a temple builder, you must strategically place your building stones in the three build zones on your player boards and build the figures on the temple cards. Throw the dice, build the temples, and snatch the temple cards before your rivals. Oh, and don't forget to unleash your secret power to tease your rivals! Who will outsmart whom in the race to win the most temple cards and acquire the precious temple diamond? In this building adventure fraught with hidden bombs, spontaneous lightning storms, and magic shields, nothing is decided until the last temple is built. —description from the publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.5/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
