Sature

About

Sature is a competitive puzzle game where players take turns placing colored hexagons on a board to manipulate and disrupt their opponent’s palette. Each piece has arrows that trigger color shifts in adjacent tiles. When a piece is targeted by an arrow, it darkens based on the contrast between colors. Strategic placement creates chains of reactions as tiles retaliate, blending tactical planning with dynamic color theory. The game ends when the board fills, with victory going to the player whose remaining colors stay the brightest. The clever interplay of color mixing and predictive strategy sets Sature apart. Its rules are simple but depth emerges through careful planning and adaptation. Available on Android and iOS since March 2015, it’s a quick yet thoughtful option for fans of cerebral board games. The blend of art and logic has earned it a dedicated following among puzzle enthusiasts.

Storyline

Sature is a board game of color. The game always pits one player playing against another (or against a computer). Your objective is to darken and dull out your opponent's colors and end the game with the brighter overall colors. Each player begins the game with a number of hexagonal pieces each with a different color and random number of outward-pointing arrows. Each turn, a colored piece is placed on the board. If a piece is placed on a space with one of the piece's arrows pointing at a previously placed piece, then the piece being pointed at will change color (and already placed pieces with arrows facing in the correct position will "retaliate" against the piece just played). When "attacked," a piece will darken. The greater the color difference between the interacting pieces, the more attacked pieces will darken. A slider at the bottom of the screen indicates which player has the overall brightest colors and is thus winning. There is also a color wheel players can consult at any point during gameplay when strategizing.
