Description

Get ready for a tactical brawl like no other with 5 Paths, a fast-paced board game designed by Nicholas Jackson. Released in 2023, this abstract strategy game is perfect for two players looking for a quick and thrilling experience that can be played in just 15 to 30 minutes. The rules are simple to learn, so you can dive right into the action, and the variable setup ensures that each game is unique and exciting. In 5 Paths, you'll place a combination of five archetype pieces on the board, each with its own special abilities and ways of using the dice. Some pieces will capture enemy pieces by landing on them, while others can attack from a distance or even stun and drag opponents around. Each turn follows a straightforward rhythm: declare your piece, roll the dice if needed, and then use the dice value to outmaneuver your opponent. Your goal is to be the first to capture five of your opponent's pieces or lock them out of the game. With its roll-and-move mechanics and dice rolling, 5 Paths is all about strategic thinking and a little bit of luck. Will you emerge victorious, or will your opponent outmaneuver you? There's only one way to find out – gather a friend, set up the board, and get ready to brawl.
