Desciption:

Tess is a game of tactical tiling. Players compete and co-operate(sometimes inadvertently) to create colourful patterns.

Each player starts with a set of tiles of different colours and shapes. And the game proceeds with each player placing a tile onto the board adding to the pattern. There are two competing objectives, one to maximise the number of colours the tile is in contact with, and the other is to complete patterns present on cards they have drawn from a pile.

The resulting pattern every time is unique like a snowflake.
