What is Block and Key

In Block and Key, adventurers place 3D clay blocks in a centralized raised playing area, with the goal of completing their own request cards. The challenge is made more interesting as each player is limited to their "2D" viewpoint.

Each turn adventurers may either draw new blocks from the supply, or place ONE block into the shared space. They may then check to see if they have completed any request cards before filling their hand.

The first adventure to complete the number of request cards required by the player count ends the game. Scores will be tallied and one player named the victor.

Fun game using your POV with the 3D pieces, but it's not that exciting. Would not buy it or be inclined to play it again, but it was nice to have played it.
