Blue Orange Games has earned a reputation for award-winning products with remarkable quality and high play value. Our family has been a huge Blue Orange Games fan for several years.
We recently had the opportunity to work with Blue Orange Games and review one of their new games. We were sent the game NIYA to review free of charge. Alexandria and Kevin wanted to be the first ones to try the game so the minute it came in they were at the dining room table reading the directions. The kids are seven, the recommended age is children 8 years old to Adult, so I was afraid that they wouldn’t understand who to play, get frustrated and give up. However, that was not the case. Alexandria and Kevin Loved playing the game. It was easy for them to understand how to play. I also had them give me instructions on how to play in their own words
The Blue Orange Game, NIYA, is based on Japan’s Imperial Garden, courtly manners and natural beauty veil a dark political conspiracy among two influential clans. On each turn, players replace a garden tile with one of their clan tokens. The next player can only exchange a token for a garden tile that has an element in common with the previously chosen tile. The first to position their clan in a row, square, or blockade will win control of the garden and power at court!
NIYA is a game for two players and is recommended for children ages 8 to adult.
What is included in the box?
16 Clan Tokens
16 Garden Tiles
Illustrated Rules
The game comes in a protective metal case that allows for safe keeping and easy to take along with you on trips or visits to the park. NIYA is definitely a family favorite game with the kids!
