About this product
Build the sweetest combinations and race for the ice cream cart.
Match ice creams, complete secret orders and be the first to reach 50 points.
A colourful 2–4 player tile-placement game where clever matching, four-in-a-row combinations and secret ice cream orders turn every tile into a scoring opportunity.
Product Description
Race to the ice cream cart at the end of the sunny beach path in Gelati, a colourful tile-placement game filled with ice cream combinations and sweet scoring opportunities.
On your turn, rotate and place an ice cream tile into the growing play area. Each ice cream is made up of a cup, flavour and topping, and every neighbouring ice cream must share at least one matching part. The more sides your newly placed tile matches, the more points you can score.
There is more to watch than the immediate points. Create a row or column of four matching ice cream parts and you can collect that part from the supply. Gather the right combination of parts to complete one of your secret ice cream orders and earn 15 points.
Every placement can move you closer to the cart, or open an opportunity for another player. The first player to reach 50 points becomes the ice cream master of Gelati.
