    This one is a mind F*#$ for me. I'm not sure if it's the 3-dimensional aspect of it or what but I definitely can't play it and have a drink at the same time! LOL

    Sometimes this game can be frustrating because I want this card to get those pieces... but I can't play it yet because I need to get pieces with the card I want to score that I was going to use to get the pieces I needed to score... this game is like catch 22 over and over and over again. I need this to score that. But need to play that first so I can get the pieces I need to play this... but I can't play that yet... I need to play this other thing... that is how my brain feels with this game. SO knowing when to just give up on scoring some cards and knowing when to stop drafting new cards before the piles run out is key to this game... feels like a balancing act on a knife's edge.

    Tentative rating. I like the idea of the game, the kind of puzzle is quite nice, and the pieces are great. But the rules are confusing regarding the scoring. I would need more games with better knowledge of how the patterns are really scored.

In the game Reef, players take on the role of a coral reef, carefully selecting colors and patterns in which to grow and expand. On each turn, players can choose to pick up a new card from a choice of four, or play a card that is already in hand. Each card provides two reef pieces and a pattern that scores points if the existing reef has it (after placing the two new pieces). Whoever has the most points when the reef pieces (or card deck) run out wins!

Reef is an abstract strategy game suited for players aged 8 and up. While it could take thousands of years for a coral reef to grow, a game of Reef should take only 30-45 minutes.
