Tulikko (2026)

The reviewer finds Tulikko to be a lovely, family-weight tile-laying and optimization game that is both simple to learn yet offers satisfying strategic depth, making it enjoyable for lighter game nights or multiple plays.

“Most importantly, Tulikko is approachable. Families can enjoy it as a relaxing puzzle game, while more experienced players can dive deeper into the strategy.”

“Tulikko is a well crafted family level game. It’s easy enough to teach in a few minutes, and the icons on the boards make it easy to know your options on where to play your tiles.”

“Tulikko is an almost perfect mixture of challenge, excitement, and replayability. Games are brisk and are usually completed in about 20 minutes.”

Tom Vasel from The Dice Tower rated Tulikko a 6.0 out of 10, indicating he found the game to be an acceptable experience, neither particularly great nor overtly problematic.

“Mediocre - I probably won’t remember playing this in a year. As a cozy 2-player game, I’ve had some fun, albeit forgettable experiences with it, and I think that’s enough to cautiously recommend it.”
