Rooms & Roomies^*

Rooms & Roomies is a tile-laying game for 1 to 5 players aged 10 and up. You shop for furniture, load your van and furnish a shared flat that keeps your roommates happy. The happiest home at the end wins.

What's it about?

The furniture store opens its doors and everyone rushes for the best pieces. But your own taste isn't all that counts. In the café, new roomies are waiting to move in, each with their own wishes for the place.

A day in Rooms & Roomies

The game runs over four days, and each day has two phases:

1. Shopping: pick furniture tiles from the store and load them into your van. You may also take up to one roomie from the café.
2. Furnishing: place the tiles in your home.

At the end, you score points for each roomie goal you've fulfilled.

What stands out

• furniture tiles that have to fit your rooms
• a van you load up while shopping
• every roomie brings personal goals
• solo mode included

Who is it for?

Families and casual groups who like puzzles and an everyday theme. Expect 30 to 75 minutes depending on player count.

Conclusion

Rooms & Roomies turns the stress of moving house into a friendly, charming tile puzzle. If you like tile games with personal goals, it fits right in. If you want a heavy strategy game, this is lighter fare.
