Product Overview You are viewing the Playte Edition of Venice Connection, a brilliant 2-player abstract strategy game designed by the legendary Alex Randolph. With just 16 tiles, this game offers incredible depth. Players race to build a closed canal loop in Venice, but the real twist lies in recognizing when the task becomes impossible—and challenging your opponent to prove you wrong!

How to Play

• The Components: The game uses 16 identical tiles. Each tile has a straight canal on one side and a curved bend on the other.

• The Action: On your turn, place 1 to 3 tiles in a straight line to extend the canal.

• The Goal: Create a closed loop of the canal.

• The Twist ("Impossible"): If you believe the canal cannot be completed into a loop based on the current board state, you can declare "Impossible!"

  • The burden of proof then shifts to your opponent.

  • If they can finish the loop, they win.

  • If they fail, you win!

Why You'll Love It
