Description

Get ready to dive into Omnigon, a strategic board game designed by Michael Flynn that's been challenging players since 1988. This abstract strategy game is all about outmaneuvering your opponent on a hexagonal grid, where the rules are easy to learn but the gameplay is anything but simple. With a playtime of just 10 minutes, you can quickly jump into a game with a friend - it's designed for two players, making it a great option for a head-to-head challenge. The game starts with a tight cluster of pieces at each end of the board, with arrows on the hexagonal pieces indicating direction of travel, attack, and defense. As you play, you'll need to think carefully about your moves to outmaneuver your opponent and come out on top. Don't be fooled by the simple rules - Omnigon has a depth of strategy that will keep you coming back for more. In fact, the game is proclaimed to be easier to learn but deeper than chess, with some players even discovering the Omnigon equivalent of a "fool's mate" within their first few games. With its unique blend of grid movement and hexagonal grid mechanics, Omnigon is a game that will appeal to fans of abstract strategy and tactical gameplay.
