Intarsia Board Game

About this product

Build beauty, one wooden piece at a time.

A thoughtful strategy board game about renovating the parquet floor of the Café de Paris with beautiful wooden inlays.

Collect materials, build ornaments, claim tools and create the most valuable parquet design.

Product Description

Intarsia is a beautifully themed board game where players compete to restore the parquet floor of the Café de Paris.

Each player builds wooden ornaments on their own floor board by using material cards to place frames, midsections, cores, tables and connectors. The better you plan your layout, the more chances you have to claim valuable tool tiles, earn points and stay ahead of the competition.

The game is played over 3 rounds. At the end, players score their completed ornaments, and the player with the most points secures the renovation contract for the café’s elegant inlay work.
