Description

Focus is a classic abstract strategy game designed by Sid Sackson, first introduced in 1963. In this game, 2 to 4 players compete to outmaneuver each other by making strategic moves and capturing pieces. The rules are easy to learn, and a typical game takes around 45 minutes to play. Players take turns moving pieces or stacks of pieces around the grid, with the number of pieces determining how far they can move. As players capture their opponents' pieces, they can reserve their own pieces to re-enter the game later, adding a layer of strategy to the gameplay. With its simple yet engaging mechanics, Focus challenges players to think ahead and outmaneuver their opponents. Whether you're a fan of abstract strategy games or just looking for a fun and competitive experience, Focus is a great choice, and its enduring popularity since its introduction in the 1960s is a testament to its timeless appeal.
