Gingham

Description

Get ready to join the sweetest battle of wits with Gingham, a game of confection connection for 2 to 4 players. In this abstract strategy game, you'll position your queens and deploy your ants to connect matching sweets and claim the stockpiles they create on a charming gingham picnic blanket. The game is incredibly easy to learn, with simple rules that can be explained in no time, making it perfect for a quick 20 to 40 minute game night with friends and family. The game mechanics are clever and engaging, with a Dutch auction system that determines the lead player and the edge of the playing area where all players must place their queens. The catch is that you can't deploy your ant beyond the stitch in the blanket, and the rows closer to the star offer fewer options. But the player who places their queen closest to the star becomes the leader of the next round, giving them an advantage in choosing the next edge to play on. As you connect sweets and surround stockpiles with your ants, you'll score points and collect sugar cubes that can be spent on powerful abilities. The goal is to stretch your ants across the blanket and grab the biggest piles of sweets to prove your pint-sized royalty. Designed by Robert Hovakimyan and published in 2025, Gingham is a game that's all about strategic thinking and clever moves. With its variable setup and chaining mechanics, each game is unique and challenging. As part of the Travel Line from Bitewing Games, Gingham is designed to be supremely easy to play with anyone, anywhere, making it the perfect addition to your game collection. So gather your friends, choose your strategy, and get ready to battle it out for the sweetest spoils in Gingham.
