Build a lively apartment block and score the happiest balconies on your side.
A clever 2-player strategy game with charming artwork, quick turns, and satisfying tactical choices.

Product Description
Balconia is a light tactical board game for 2 players where you build a shared apartment complex one block at a time. Every block shows different balcony scenes on each side, so each choice shapes your score and your opponent’s options. It is quick to learn, charming on the table, and full of neat little decisions.

Good to Know
- Best for players who enjoy spatial thinking, tactical placement, and reading the board
- The rulebook shows that balcony scoring depends on position and matching symbols like flowers, cats, birds, people, laundry, notes, and hearts, while entrance scoring works separately across your whole side of the building
- Empty grid spaces do not score on their own, so placement matters a lot
- Easy to teach, but it still gives strong “just one more game” energy
Care & Maintenance
- Store blocks and tokens back in the box neatly after play
- Keep the scoring pad and player aids dry and flat
- Avoid crushing the upright grid pieces so they stay snug during setup
