Description

In Isolation, you'll navigate a 6x8 grid, making strategic moves to outmaneuver your opponent. The twist is that each turn, you'll not only move your pawn one space, but also remove a square from the board, slowly closing in on your opponent. The goal is simple yet challenging: isolate your opponent so they have no moves left. With easy-to-learn rules, you can dive right into the game, which typically lasts around 20 minutes. As a classic abstract strategy game from 1972, designed by Bernd Kienitz, Isolation requires careful planning and adaptability. The grid movement and map reduction mechanics create a thrilling experience, especially since the board changes with each turn. With its unique blend of strategy and luck, Isolation is a great choice for fans of maze games and competitive players looking for a quick, intense challenge.
