Anansi is a captivating abstract strategy game for 2 to 4 players that's all about building patterns and outsmarting your opponents. With its simple rules and quick setup, you can dive into a game in no time - in fact, a typical play session lasts just 30 minutes.

As you take turns placing your stones on the grid, you'll need to balance your own goals with the need to block your opponents' plans. The game becomes a thrilling race to capture key intersections and score points by aligning your stones with your web pattern. With its elegant gameplay and short playtime, Anansi is a great choice for anyone looking for a fun and challenging abstract strategy game. First published in 2005, Anansi has been delighting players for years with its unique blend of pattern building and competitive play, making it a great addition to any game collection.
