Description
Get ready to blast off into a game of strategic connections with Tether, the latest release from game designer Mark McGee in 2024. In this exciting card game for 2 to 4 players, you'll be linking astronauts together to prevent them from drifting through the galaxy alone. The twist is that each card has a two-digit number that flips to reveal a new number when rotated, creating an asymmetric puzzle that challenges players to think creatively. With numbers that swap positions when flipped, you'll need to think carefully about which cards to play to connect your astronauts in the right order. As you play, you'll be competing to connect your astronauts in either horizontal or vertical lines, depending on which side of the table you're on. With playtime ranging from 15 to 30 minutes, Tether is the perfect game for a quick session with friends or family. The rules are easy to learn, making it accessible to players of all skill levels. Using hand management mechanics, you'll need to balance your own connections with the need to disrupt your opponents' plans. With its unique blend of strategy and social interaction, Tether is a game that will keep you coming back for more, challenging you to outmaneuver your opponents and emerge victorious.
