The game is for 2 to 4 players of ages 8 and above, and takes about 20 to 30 minutes. ''Ubongo'' is an abstract puzzle game, based on a pentamino variant, reminiscent of a combination of Tangram and ''Tetris''. The game includes a simplified version with fewer pieces, for children and beginners. ''Ubongo'' is well suited for a game for the whole family, because its mechanics entertain both children and adults. Solving puzzles is entertaining by itself and provides excitement when combined with competition with other players. The word "ubongo" means "brain" in Swahili, a language currently spoken in Eastern and Central Africa. ==Theme== The cardboard player boards and the main board with the jewels are coloured in strong earthy colours, on a black and red background, with the simple, clear motives themed after African or Australian Aborigine culture, featuring animals found in the jungle and on the savanna. Jewels made of translucent, colourful plastic are used as prizes.
