Description

Line or Colour is a quick and challenging abstract strategy game for two players that's easy to learn but tricky to master. With a playtime of just 10 minutes, it's perfect for a fast-paced gaming session. The game involves building patterns with coloured counters, and the goal is to either form a line of consecutive rings of your colour or claim a set of counters in the same colour. The twist is that there are two ways to win, and you'll need to think strategically to outmanoeuvre your opponent. The game comes in two versions, basic and advanced, each with its own level of complexity. The basic version uses 25 counters in 5 colours, while the advanced version ramps up the challenge with 49 counters in 7 colours. You can also mix things up by arranging the counters randomly, adding an extra layer of excitement to the game. With its simple rules and deep strategy, Line or Colour is a game that will keep you coming back for more. First published in 2014, it's a hidden gem that's waiting to be discovered by fans of abstract strategy games.
