Description

Get ready for a brain-twisting battle of wits with 2nd Best, a strategic board game designed for two players. Published in 2019 by renowned game designer Daikichi, this abstract strategy game is easy to learn but challenging to master. The goal is simple: be the first to get four of your pieces in a row or stack three on the same square. Sounds easy, but here's the twist - your opponent can throw a wrench in your plans by saying "2nd Best!" and forcing you to rethink your move. As you take turns placing your pieces on the grid, you'll need to stay one step ahead of your opponent. You can stack your pieces on top of each other, but be careful not to give your opponent an opening. With playtime ranging from 3 to 15 minutes, 2nd Best is the perfect game for a quick but intense competition. The rules are easy to learn, but the game requires strategic thinking and a bit of psychological maneuvering. Will you outmaneuver your opponent and emerge victorious, or will they say "2nd Best!" and send you back to the drawing board? There's only one way to find out - gather a friend, get ready to think strategically, and dive into the world of 2nd Best.
