Description

Pent-Up is a strategic and engaging board game designed for two players, where the goal is to outmaneuver your opponent by placing pentominoes in a way that gets the most of your pieces on top. The game is easy to learn, with simple rules that allow you to dive right in and start playing. Each player has 12 pentominoes, which are pieces composed of five congruent squares connected along their edges, and they come in two different colors, black and 'ice'. The game mechanics revolve around tile placement, which requires abstract strategy and critical thinking. In Pent-Up, players take turns placing one pentomino at a time, trying to gain the upper hand by getting their pieces to the topmost layers. The game is relatively quick, with a playtime of just 15 minutes, making it perfect for a casual game night or a quick break. With its abstract strategy and tile placement mechanics, Pent-Up offers a fun and challenging experience that will keep you coming back for more. First published in 2014, Pent-Up has established itself as a great option for those looking for a simple yet engaging board game, and its compact design makes it easy to take on the go.
