Description

In Forgenesis, a game of strategic creature movement, you'll compete against your opponent to land on their base or render them unable to play. This abstract strategy game, designed by Ignazio Panades and published in 2024, is easy to learn and can be played in as little as 5 to 15 minutes with just two players. The game takes place on a 4x4 grid, where you'll move your six creature tokens, each with unique abilities, to outmaneuver your opponent. The frog can jump over other tokens, the firefly can pull creatures towards it, and the beetle can push tokens out of the way, adding a fun layer of complexity to the game. As you take turns activating your creatures, moving them towards your opponent's corner, or using their special abilities, you'll need to think carefully about your strategy. You can summon new creatures to join the battle, or flip your resting creatures to their active side to get back in the game. The goal is simple: be the first to land on your opponent's base, or make it impossible for them to play. With its simple rules and deep strategic possibilities, Forgenesis is a great choice for fans of abstract strategy games looking for a quick and challenging competition.
