In Ubongo, players compete to solve individual puzzles as quickly as they can. To begin, each player takes twelve polyominoes — that is, pieces consisting of 2-5 squares in some configuration; players use these pieces each round to try to recreate patterns shown to them on puzzle cards. The quicker you complete the puzzle, the larger the reward you receive. Ubongo: Die Schule der magischen Tiere – Der Film features the same gameplay as the Ubongo base game, but with players now trying to collect the magic animals instead of gems. The game also includes a co-operative variant in which players try to help one another complete the challenges.
