Designed by Reiner Knizia, Ingenious is the popular board game in which 2 to 4 players place colored tiles on a hexagonal board, scoring points, blocking opponents’ tile placement, and protecting themselves from being blocked. Its simple rules, quick playing time, and clever gameplay combine to form a subtly strategic and hopelessly addictive game.

With punchboard tiles, stands that are built into the board, and other component changes, this mass market edition offers the Ingenious experience at a lower price point.

Frequently Asked Questions:

• Why a new edition?
• This new “mass market” edition of Ingenious offers virtually the same gameplay experience as the 2010 edition, but its lower price presents a value not previously available.
• Do I need this edition if I own a previous one?
• No. Aside from the price, the differences are cosmetic.
• Will you still offer the current edition?
• We have no current plans to discontinue the 2010 edition, and will offer both versions for the foreseeable future.
• What is different about the mass market edition, compared to the 2010 edition?
• Several changes contribute to this new edition’s lower price:
  - The tiles are made of punchboard rather than plastic.
  - There is no separate stand for the players’ tiles, the punchboard tiles in a player’s “hand” fit directly into slits built into the board.
  - The mass market edition comes in a 10”x10”x2” box (similar to Through the Desert).
  - Additionally, the rulebook excludes both the team variant and the solo rules from the 2010 edition, resulting in a game appropriate for 2–4 players, rather than 1–4.
