Board Game Arena

The great cities of the world are challenging each other to present the most beautiful festival imaginable. The closing fireworks ceremony, held in all cities, will be the final rose in the crown of the festivities.
 
In Festival, you select tiles to place on your tableau to create the most impressive and beautiful fireworks display possible...and of course, score the most points! You have two stacks of tiles in front of you, with each neighboring player having access to the stack closest to them; tiles come in four colors and four firework designs. Four stacks of objective cards are in the middle of the table, along with four crowd-pleaser tiles.
 
On a turn, take a tile from the top of either stack and place it in the 3x3 grid on your board, whether on the ground level or on an existing stack. Alternatively, you can take an objective card from the top of its stack and place it to the left of your board. To end your turn, see whether you have satisfied any of your objectives or the crowd-pleasers that are available to everyone. Move each completed objective to the right of your board.
 
Whenever a player has completed six objectives or a stack of firework tiles has run out, the game concludes at the end of the round. In addition to scoring completed objectives and claimed crowd-pleasers, you have a target color and firework type depicted on your board. Each tile of this color or type at the top of a stack on your board is worth as many points as the number of tiles in that stack. If a tile matches both color and type, you score it twice.

Is it a simpler version of 'Stone age'?
From the one game I saw in replay, your ressources look like your board, and you get a bunch of objectives to pick from.

This game has something to do with Hanabi?

Stupid sexy rooftop Flanders!

Why are we still losing ELO in team based games? Win or lose I am losing to my partner because of the "tie" of our team winning. This has been fixed and broken a few times. Can this please be fixed? Euchre is the one I'm playing.

You can try this game in a testing tournament: ask for an invitation if you need

how can I enter the tournament when the game is not available and don't have an ELO rating?
The link to enter says I need an ELO of at least 100. Please advise.

You need to play until you have 100 ELO and then you can get an invite. Balea create a tournament and he also said if someone haven't enough ELO he will invite this player. Send him a message. Tourmanents are opened for Festival today.

I hope it can be launched soon "Tekhenu: Obelisk of the Sun" & "Ark Nova: Marine Worlds"

No, it's just a very similar design.
