Palazzo Paletti (2002)

About this game

This is a giant version of Villa Paletti. Designed for the coffee table. Apparently the extra weight of the pieces can aid play strategy by reducing the dexterity element. The base plate is 60 cm (24 inches) in diameter, the columns are each 13 cm (5 inches) tall, and the palazzo can reach up to 80 cm (31 inches) tall!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 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.
