Description

Descent is a simple yet strategic board game for two players that can be learned quickly and played in just 20 minutes. Designed by Rey Alicea, this abstract strategy game was published in 2013 and has since become a favorite among fans of tile placement and area majority games. The goal is to outmaneuver your opponent by moving your pawns to adjacent stacks of tiles, removing empty tiles to disrupt their plans. As you play, you'll need to think carefully about your moves to create a straight line of pawns either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, all while trying to be the last player to make a move. With its easy-to-learn rules and deep strategic possibilities, Descent is a great choice for gamers looking for a quick and challenging experience. Whether you're a seasoned pro or new to abstract strategy games, Descent is a great way to spend 20 minutes competing with a friend.
