Designed by John Beaupre and Mike Reilly, this game is incredibly easy to learn, with simple rules that can be explained quickly, making it accessible to a wide range of players. Despite its simplicity, Aya offers a depth of strategy that will keep you coming back for more. With support for 1 to 8 players, it's a great option for solo play or for gathering a large group of friends and family. In Aya, players use a unique mechanism involving a gutter that holds colored balls and a deck of cards with different patterns or combinations.

With a playtime of just 20 minutes, Aya is a great option for a quick game night or a fun break from more complex games. Its abstract strategy category means that players will need to think creatively and plan ahead to outmaneuver their opponents, making it a great choice for fans of strategic gameplay.
