St. Louis Public Library Board Games @ Central

Welcome to the Board Games @ Central LibGuide! This guide provides information about the board game collection at the St. Louis Public Library's Central Branch.

Piñata

From the Librarian: In Piñata, players collect colored candy from piñatas by strategically playing cards to earn medal cards, aiming to be the first to collect three. You’ll enjoy Piñata if you like competitive, tactical card play where you can outsmart your opponents by disrupting their strategies while collecting vibrant, colorful sets.


 

From the Publisher: 

In Piñata, the players compete to collect the colored candy inside the piñatas. Playing pieces that might otherwise be “cubes” are instead wooden markers with a bow-tie shape that mimics the shape of wrapped candies, coming in five different colors. When a player has collected enough candy of a given color, he earns the medal card for that color, and the first player to earn three medal cards wins!

The players play their cards next to several mats on the table. Players usually play their cards on their side of the mats, but they may sometimes play on their opponent’s side, a move that can ruin their opponent’s plans.

Piñata reimplements Balloon Cup – while adopting the designer’s initial theme for the game.
