Description

Rock Me Archimedes is a fun and challenging abstract game for two players that combines strategy and dexterity. The game is named after the ancient Greek mathematician Archimedes, and its unique teeter-totter assembly requires players to balance their moves carefully. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, players take turns placing marbles on the grid or rolling a specially numbered die to determine how many spaces they can move their marbles. The goal is to get at least four of your marbles to one end of the board without letting either end touch the table. With each move, you'll need to think strategically about how to outmaneuver your opponent while keeping the board balanced. The game is fast-paced, lasting only 15 minutes, and requires a combination of luck and skill to win. Designed by Matt Buchanan and published in 2012, Rock Me Archimedes is a great choice for fans of abstract strategy and action games.
