About the game

What is Genius Square

Roll The Dice & Race Your Opponent To Complete The Square!

A worthy winner of the HPC Game Of The Year 2018/19 award, this outstanding puzzle game is every bit as clever as its name suggests. Each player receives their own 6x6 grid and a set of the nine different shapes, plus seven ‘blocker’ pieces. Roll the seven dice together and place a blocker in each of the co-ordinates that appear on the faces. Now race to fill every other space on the grid, before your opponent.

As unlikely as it seems, the puzzles really can be solved in each of the 62,208 possible combinations, often with multiple solutions. Sometimes you’ll quickly see a solution... sometimes you’ll be tearing your hair out. Brilliant!
