Description

Laocoon is a game of abstract strategy designed by Alain Couchot and Bernard Klein, perfect for two players looking for a challenge. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, this 2017 release is easy to pick up but difficult to master. The game takes place on an 8x8 grid, where each space is initially one of four colors, distributed evenly across the board. Players take turns moving their two rings around the board, trying to outmaneuver their opponent. As the game progresses, the colors of the spaces change, and some become inaccessible, adding a layer of complexity to the game. The goal is to keep moving your rings, as the game ends when a player cannot make a move, resulting in their opponent's victory. With a playtime of just 15 to 30 minutes, Laocoon is a great option for a quick but intense gaming session. The combination of simple rules and deep strategy makes it an engaging and fun experience, and its compact playtime means you can fit in a game or two whenever you want. Whether you're a fan of abstract strategy games or just looking for a new challenge, Laocoon is definitely worth checking out.
