Micropul is an abstract strategy tile-laying game. It is usually played as a 2-player game in which players take turn placing tiles and stones, stocking new tiles and claiming groups. Micropul can also be played as a solitaire puzzle where the goal is to play optimally and beat your previous score.
Let's see what's inside a typical micropul set:
- Rulebook, available in 3 languages
- 48 tiles, 44 unique designs
- 6 stones, in two colors
