Sagrada is based on the Sagrada
Família Basilica in Barcelona, which has beautiful, breathtaking spires and
iconic stained-glass windows and is famous for its three grand facades, which
are all unique and have symbolic meanings.
The base Sagrada game and its expansions
use dice drafting and placement to determine the options available to players
during their turns. Strategy and planning revolve around using the available
dice in combinations of their colors and numbers together with the unique
stained glass windowpane options. There are placement rules that apply to every
player and special tools to help players navigate difficult dice rolls. The
goal is to meet public and individual challenges to earn the most points and
win the game.
There are three expansions based
on the grand façades of the Basilica that represent its origins in
Barcelona. They are Passion, Life, and Glory, which add new facets, challenges,
and rewards to the game. Also available is an expansion that extends the game to
include up to 6 players, provides new objectives, and adds the option of
personal dice drafting.
The base Sagrada game includes
solo rules that can be applied to the expansions but might not work as well
with all modules. The Sagrada base game is required to play any of the
available expansions, which are added separately or in combination with each
other using different modules to add variety to gameplay and scoring options.
Finally, if you enjoy campaign
games, the Sagrada Artisans game gives players a story to experience as they
embark on a multi-chaptered adventure competing as rival families and
documenting the creation of cathedral windows over generations of time. This is
a legacy style stand-alone game for 2-4 players and is played over multiple
game sessions.
