Holi: Festival of Colors

Holi: Festival of Colors is a colorful area-influence puzzle played inside a three-level courtyard. On a turn, a player moves their marker and plays a pattern card to place colored powder on the surrounding spaces. Powder can land on other celebrants, and color placed on an upper floor falls through matching openings to the levels below, sometimes creating several scoring opportunities at once. Players climb upward for more valuable spaces, collect sweets, and compete for shifting Rivalry card objectives that reward particular patterns or interactions. Hand management limits which shapes are available, while the transparent stacked boards make every placement affect more than one plane. It is an abstract spatial contest with direct splashes, carefully timed movement, and an unusual vertical scoring puzzle.
