In Ingenious, the aim of each player is to score points in the six colours by playing tiles onto the board. Each tile shows two colours, which may be the same. These tiles are placed on the board and score points for matching colours radiating out from each half of the tile. The final score is based on the lowest of your six scores, so you have to balance your scores across the six colours to achieve a good result. The game ends when no further tiles can be played, or when a player reaches a score of 18 in all six colours.

Ingenious was designed by Reiner Knizia and is published by Kosmos Games (German edition) and Sophisticated Games (English edition). The German edition was called Einfach Genial, while the English edition was published under the title Mensa Connections.

You will need to know the rules of the game in order to play.

Playing via the Web

As with all games, rules are required. Please read the rules of engagement that cover For Whom The Web Rocks games. The following additional rules apply to these Ingenious games.

Ingenious games require two to four players.
Please use a subject of Ingenious exxx when sending orders (replace the 'xxx' with the game number, e.g. Ingenious e999).
You will be advised of the tiles you hold with your e-mail prompts. You should keep these messages while they are relevant.
To place a tile, tell me the colour combination and the hexes that each half of the tile are to be placed in. Make sure to quote the colours and the hexes in the same order, or your tiles may not be placed the way you intended. Please also quote the colours in the same order they were given to you. For example, if you have been told you hold a Red/Green tile, please order for Red/Green rather than Green/Red.
If you earn bonuses by reaching a score of 18 in a colour, you should know that this is going to happen, so please order your bonus placements with your original order.
If you are entitled to swap your tiles at the end of your turn because you have no colour(s) in the lowest scoring position, this will only be done if you ask for it.
Moves made for players by the referee will normally involve playing tiles to gain victory points in their weakest colours.
