In Sagani, players strive to achieve harmony between the natural elements of Earth, Water, Air, and Fire by coaxing elemental creatures out of hiding. The game features a clever spatial puzzle where players place element tiles in their personal displays and point directional arrows toward other tiles of specific colors to score points.

The Verdict
based on 10 reviews
“Sagani is hands down one of my favorite games of the year, and not just because I enjoy playing it, but because everyone I've played with enjoys playing it, and that means a lot.”(8:35)
“Sagani, Nova Luna was previously on my list last year, and in all honesty, they're close enough that you can just pick your favorite for this spot. I went for [Sagani]; I think that this is my preferred of the two, but they're so similar that it was genuinely a hard choice for me.”
“Jen and I were head over heels, uh, absolutely totally a keeper, and it's my number five of the month.”(2:55)
“All in all, I I do enjoy this one more than [Nova Luna]. I I I think it's really fun, and I think with this, this more streamlined version, it's a lot more accessible.”(43:42)
“I have said it once before, but if you like Nova Luna or Framework, there is a good chance you will enjoy this – I definitely recommend you giving it a go.”
“Don't let the size of the box or the cartoony appearance of the tiles or the simple rules set fool you. Sagani is not a game for the faint of heart. It's a game that will constantly challenge you at every turn. But it's so worth it.”
“Given these caveats, we have enjoyed Sagani enormously. It plays quickly (don't bog down!!!), provides an entertaining and interesting puzzle, and there is reasonably enough variety in the tiles that each game develops differently.”
“I enjoyed it, I, yeah, I enjoyed it even the way we played wrong, uh, so I'm going to go ahead and give this a 7.5. I think it's just slightly, I think, a little bit higher than yours.”(17:05)
“So overall, I do like it, I enjoy my plays of it. I think it is clever, it is so easy to get going in this game. It's a game that starts very simply, and I like that about it as well.”(13:31)
“This is such a fun game to play, it does not feel the same at all each time you play. You're constantly taking different tiles and creating a different pattern in front of you. This is accessible to a lot of different ages.”(3:12)
