'Sagrada' is a strategy-based board game published by Floodgate games and created by Daryl Andrews and Adrian Adamescu, which prompts players to act as skilled artisans who must plan and construct a stained glass window.
Using the tools at their disposal, players can take turns putting together their masterpiece, rolling the dice to draft the different glass pieces that will go into its construction. As they continue to play, they'll have to decide where these pieces should go, doing their best to match the color and shade requirements that they're given. With a number of rules limiting their choices, players will need to be careful when placing their pieces.
The game is suitable for up to four players, however Floodgate Games also offers an expansion pack that allows for five to six.
