Description

Shifti is a classic abstract strategy game that's all about outmaneuvering your opponents. Designed by Design Associates and first published in 1977, this game has been entertaining players for decades. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, 2 to 4 players can jump into a game of Shifti in no time. The game is played on a modular board, where players roll dice to determine their moves. The twist is that stars and pips on the dice give players different abilities, such as shifting the playing field or moving their pieces. The goal is to get all four of your pieces kitty corner across the board, but it's not as easy as it sounds. With the ability to move only on black squares, players need to think strategically about their next move. With a playtime of just 30 minutes, Shifti is a great game for a quick evening with friends or family. Its unique blend of tile placement and dice rolling makes for a fun and challenging experience that will keep you coming back for more.
