Plan Accordingly When Trying to Find ‘De Stijl’ That Best Fits You
Get in touch with your inner Piet Mondrian and design a masterpiece to call your own.
De Stijl (Pronounced and Translated as “The Style” from Dutch) is a simple and abstract tile laying and sort of area control game.
On each players turn, they will add a tile to the art piece in the middle of the board, overlapping only 2 of the smaller squares with the tile they are laying.
The goal of each player is to score the most point by having the most contiguous sections (or “strokes”) of their color. Each stroke grants 1 point to the player but bonus points are scored for whichever player has the largest stroke. The size of the tile deck is adjusted based on the number of players, but the game ends when the tiles run out.
De Stijl is a simple game to learn but the ability to overlap other tiles and the option of laying tiles in any orientation make for a surprising amount of strategic depth. Playing in about 20 minutes and with the whole game fitting into your pocket, this game is a surefire hit for any coffee table game.
