Mezen
English
Description
In the far north in a land of dark days and white nights flows the river Mezen. From meadows and forest edges horses gallop toward it birds gather above it foxes rush to its shores. Humans too could not resist this place and stayed for centuries inspired by the power and beauty of nature. Using soot as dark as night and clay as red as the sun they began to create ornamental art. From this tradition the famous Mezen painting was born and it forms the artistic soul of this game.
In Mezen you take on the role of northern artisans creating intricate ornamental paintings. By carefully combining symbols removing connected groups and flipping tiles you transform your artwork step by step. Your goal is to complete specific objectives and score as many points as possible.
Each turn you choose a group of adjacent identical symbols from your painting remove them and let the tiles above slide down to fill the gaps. The removed tiles are then flipped to their opposite side from white to black and placed back into the empty spaces. By constantly reshaping the symbol layout you create new opportunities to fulfil goals and trigger scoring. After ten rounds the game ends and the player with the most points wins.
Mezen combines calm tactical decision making with a strong visual identity and a unique cultural atmosphere. Every game feels like a living artwork that evolves turn by turn and rewards planning foresight and an eye for patterns.
Create ornaments tell stories and preserve the spirit of the north in your painting.
