Description

Avverso is a clever and strategic board game that's all about making connections, but with a twist. In this abstract strategy game, two players compete to connect opposite sides of the board with a chain of stones in their color. The catch is that when you add stones to the board, you're actually adding your opponent's stones, not your own. This unique mechanic adds a layer of complexity and depth to the game, requiring players to think carefully about their moves. As you slide your opponent's stones into place, you can push other stones around the board to make room, drastically changing the situation and potentially turning the game in your favor. The non-symmetric board and clever design ensure that Avverso is a well-balanced game, making it fair and exciting for both players. With a playtime of just 10 minutes, Avverso is a quick and dramatic game that requires deep thought and strategic planning. Designed by Henrik Morast and first published in 2008, Avverso is a hidden gem that's sure to appeal to fans of abstract strategy games and puzzle enthusiasts alike. Despite its simple rules, the game offers a challenging and engaging experience that will keep you coming back for more.
