Description
Motif is a simple yet strategic board game for two players, designed by Leonardo B Luz and published in 2023. The goal is to occupy more squares than your opponent on a 5x5 grid board, using easy-to-learn rules and clever tactics. Players take turns adding new pawns to the board, moving existing ones, and turning squares into their color, all while trying to control the largest area. With a playtime of just 10 to 30 minutes, Motif is a quick and engaging game that requires careful placement and planning to win. The zone of control mechanics adds a layer of complexity, as each piece affects all the others of the same color. As the board fills up, the game becomes a thrilling puzzle to solve, with the player occupying the most squares emerging victorious.
