Recommended age:    5 year-old  

Who would love this: Kids/ adults that enjoy fun, quick matching games 

Stello from Mobi is a captivating game that stands out with its vibrant colors and intuitive rules, easily learned in just a few minutes. Thank you Divisible by Zero for providing this! 

Why I love ❤️ this game: 

(1) 48 Hexagonal Tiles In 3-Section Geometric Design 

The set includes 48 hexagonal tiles, each deceptively designed to look like a 3D cube in 2D form. The gameplay is reminiscent of dominoes, but instead of pips, the tiles are in 3-section geometric design in varying colour combinations. Players begin by dividing the tiles equally, then take turns connecting them by matching the colors. The first player to use all their tiles wins! If no player can do so, a scoring system is used to determine the highest scorer, with penalties for each leftover tile (for example, you will have 3 points deducted if you hold a 3-colours tile, and 1 point deducted if you are unable to connect a uni-colour tile). I love how straightforward the gameplay is, with no complex rules to memorize. Best of all, the completed board of tiles creates a stunning visual masterpiece! 

(2) Five Different Ways To Play

There are 5 different ways to play with these tiles! “Jumbo” Stello (The standard game where tiles are evenly distributed), “Nutso” (a fast-paced variant where players race to place their tiles simultaneously), “Lotto” (Players take turns drawing random tiles from a pouch), “Mello” (a cooperative game), and “Turbo” (Each player builds their own personal Stello board separately). I love the variety of these gameplay options, which cater to all ages, personalities, and preferences!

(3) Special Yellow Tiles With Special Powers

The set includes 4 special yellow tiles to enhance the gameplay! These tiles can function as “block tiles” (no additional tiles can be connected to them once placed) or as “wild tiles” (which can be played as any color at any time). Players can also choose whether to distribute the yellow tiles evenly or leave it to chance, adding an exciting strategic element to the game.

(4) Durable Tiles & Travel-Friendly Drawstring Bag

We love the “hard porcelain” feel of the tiles—they’re thick, durable, and produce “click-clack” sound when stacked together. The set also comes with a travel-friendly drawstring bag and a sturdy cardboard box, making it perfect for on-the-go play.
