Description

Springe, also known as Two-Fisted Bluff, is a quick and clever game for two players that's all about outsmarting your opponent. Designed by Nathan Morse and published in 2012, this abstract strategy game is easy to learn but challenging to master. With simple rules that can be explained in no time, you'll be up and running in just a few minutes, and each playthrough takes only about 10 minutes. The goal is to create a line of your color on the board, either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, or to get nine of your balls on the board, among other winning conditions. The game is all about bluffing and pattern building, as you try to deceive your opponent about which balls you have in your hands. You'll take turns hiding one or two balls in your fists, and your opponent will have to guess which hand to choose. The twist is that you'll always put one hand into the reject bag, even if it's empty, to keep your opponent guessing. With three colors of balls in play, including neutral red balls, you'll need to stay focused and strategic to come out on top. Whether you're a fan of abstract strategy games or just looking for a fun and quick challenge, Springe is a great choice for a casual game night or a competitive matchup.
