Game Overview: Terzetto, or Making Marble Matches Matter

Game Overview: Terzetto, or Making Marble Matches Matter
Board Game: Terzetto
U.S. publisher Gamewright released Terzetto in 2013, "terzetto" being Italian for "threesome" — which is a little odd since Terzetto is strictly a two-player game, but you're either placing or trying to create threesomes during the game, so I guess I'll give them a pass on the name. I guess.

Enough random pedantry — on to the banter!



Times played: At least six, with a few solo plays taking place, too; the game goes quickly, so I might have missed some

Thanks to Gamewright for providing a review copy of the game!
