Venice Connection

The Venice Connection game by Alex Randolph produced in 1995 by Studiogiochi in Venice.
It is played among the canals of Venice with 16 "topologically" identical tiles.
The game consists in placing the tiles on the table in turn so that the channel ends up describing a closed circuit: the player who places the tile that closes the circuit wins the game.
Alex Randolph is considered to be one of the greatest game authors in the world.
Vintage, never used, complete, in excellent condition.
The box has some signs of aging.

Venice Connection was born in 1995, when Alex Randolph, Leo Colovini and Dario De Toffoli decided to ground a little company to produce games, having fun and trying not to lose money doing it! A crazy project, if one considers the italian market’s conditions, but possible thanks to Gianfranco Fioretta who, with his Unicopli editions took care of the distribution. Unexpectedly things worked out well, and many other projects started to be realized. After the first three published games (The Venice Connection, Verba Volant, Vermi) the choice of games increased and developed, and in 1999 the company won the Premio Gioco dell’Anno, and was awarded by the director of the jury Giampaolo Dossena.
