Japanese translation included
This is a remake of the popular 『 Uptown (Uptown) 』 released in 2007.
『 Blockers! 』 is a game in which tiles are arranged in vertical and horizontal directions, in consideration of the limit of 9 divided areas so that the collection of your own tiles on the board surface is connected to one as much as possible.
Repeat the process of selecting a tile from the tray you have at hand one by one and placing it on the board -> adding another tile to the tray. At the end of the game, you're going to count -1 point per set of your tiles on the board, so try not to end up with a split set.
Each tile has a number (1-9), an alphabet (A-I), or a symbol (9 types such as ★ or ■). There is a space for each of them. If there is a space, you can put it in a row of numbers, in a row of alphabets, or in a space divided by nine on the board of symbols.
Take advantage of these to identify areas where you can no longer block or place the 「 connection 」 of a set of competitors.
Also, as a special arrangement, you can remove a previously placed annoying competitor's tile (only edges OK, no breaks) and place your own tile there.
Doing this increases the deduction further, but you will need to use it in situation.
Continue the game until everyone has a few tiles left. The person with the least deduction wins.
