Description

Jumpin is a classic abstract strategy game that's easy to learn and fun to play. First published in 1964, it's a great example of simple yet engaging game design. The goal is straightforward: move your 12 metal pawns into the back two rows on the opposite side of the board. The twist is that pawns can only move by leaping over other pawns, which adds a fun and challenging layer to the game. With a playtime of just 15 minutes, Jumpin is a quick and intense competition between two players. The grid movement mechanics make it easy to pick up, but the strategic depth is there for those who want to master the game. As players take turns leaping their pawns over each other, the game builds to a thrilling conclusion. Whoever gets all their pawns to the other side first wins, making Jumpin a great choice for a quick and exciting gaming session.
