Lapidary Legends is a unique strategic, competitive game themed around gemstone cutting, developed by PineAppleTree Games. Players step into the shoes of aspiring master gemcutters competing to catch the eye of the legendary artisan Brin Dota by crafting the most impressive gemstones.
Over eight rounds, players purchase tools, adhesives, polishing compounds, and specialized equipment before carefully cutting away layers from their gemstone using a unique 3D tactile tile removal system.
Every decision matters, cut too aggressively and you may ruin a valuable facet, but play too cautiously and your rivals may outshine you. The game design combines tactical spatial manipulation with card mechanics to guide your cutting. By balancing precision, planning and clever card combinations, players transform simple rough stones into dazzling masterpieces in this unique strategy game.
A 4-player game takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes to play and we’ll have 3 copies available with the designer there to teach!
