The board of this game consists of six rows. On each row, twelve gems (of several colors) are arranged. Each player places his pawn in front of one of those rows.
Each player receives a playing card on which a shape consisting of several squares is depicted. Each player also gets 12 tiles consisting of 2, 3, 4, or 5 squares in some shape. By means of a dice roll, each player is assigned three or four tiles that he has to use to fill the shape on his card.
The players try to solve their own "puzzle." The race is timed by a sand glass. The outcome of this race determines the play on the main playing board.
The player who was the first to solve his puzzle in time gets to move his pawn up to three rows, the player who came second may move two rows, and the player in third may move a single row. The players may collect two gems from the front of the row their pawn is on, so the more rows you can move, the more control you have on what color gems you can collect.
After collecting gems, each player receives a new playing card with a new puzzle to solve, and a new round starts. In total, nine rounds are played.
In the end, the player who has collected the most gems in a single color wins the game.

Good fast family puzzle game
This is great with kids and although it can get old quickly, it is fun for a short while with adults too.
Ubongo involves using a placemat with a certain shape depicted. You roll a di to see which of the six columns (they will tell you three or four puzzle pieces you use to fill in the shape. Like making a puzzle with tetris pieces). The timer is then flipped and the first one to shout Ubongo has the most mobility on the board to collect the coloured gens (two per round if you are able to solve the puzzle). The object is to get the most gems of one colour. Very fast game.Well thought out and designed, with multiple elements of placement, time restriction, movement and colour hoarding. As someone who's terrible with spatial relations, I did not do very well at it. However many others quite enjoy the game!
