Description

In Paikō, a strategic game for two players, the goal is to outmaneuver your opponent by spreading out your tiles and blocking theirs. This 35-minute game requires a mix of planning and tactical thinking, making it a great challenge for fans of abstract strategy. With a simple yet engaging ruleset, Paikō is easy to learn, even for those familiar with board games. As you play, you'll earn points by positioning your tiles in key areas of the board, with the most valuable spots being in your opponent's homeground. With three possible actions on each turn - placing a tile, moving one, or drawing new tiles - you'll need to think carefully about how to build your strategy and outwit your opponent. With its unique blend of tile placement and grid movement, Paikō offers a fun and competitive experience that's perfect for a quick gaming session.
