The elements gather energy in unique patterns, challenging you to find the ideal path to balance and harmony. Earth digs deep, Water flows wide, Fire rises high, Wind blows freely, and Void slips between the others. Can you gain the understanding you need to discover true elemental wisdom? A Gorinto is a type of Japanese pagoda representing the five elements: earth (cube), water (sphere), fire (pyramid), air (crescent) and emptiness (lotus). It often housed the relic of a Buddha or a saint, and the whole represents the realm of perfect understanding.
In Gorinto, players take turns choosing element tiles from the path (perimeter) and moving them onto the mountain (game board). Each element accumulates in a unique pattern. The items collected in each round will allow you to collect more items over the rounds. Points are scored at the end of each round based on the objectives chosen at the beginning of the game, as well as the items chosen at the end of the game. The player with the most points at the end of the game wins. Can you achieve a perfect understanding?
