Description

Sly is a classic board game that's been delighting players since 1975, and it's easy to see why. Designed by the legendary Sid Sackson, this game is actually six different games in one, all sharing the same board and pieces. The board itself is a 12x12 grid, divided into 16 fields of 3x3, with specially marked centers. The pieces come in four colors, each with a unique set of shapes, including cylinders, triangles, and squares. Whether you're playing solo or with up to three friends, Sly has something for everyone, from puzzle-solving to racing and strategy. With games like Solitaire Sly, Sniggle, Line Up, Empire, Blockade, and Gateway, you'll never get bored. Try your hand at removing pieces with clever jumps in Solitaire Sly, or compete against friends in the racing game Sniggle. Line Up is a fun alignment game played on a smaller 4x4 grid, while Empire is a more complex abstract strategy game. Blockade and Gateway offer even more challenges, with each player trying to outmaneuver their opponents. With normal complexity rules, Sly is easy to learn, even for those new to board games. And with playtime lasting just 20 minutes, you can fit in a game or two whenever you want. So gather some friends, choose a game, and get ready to have fun with Sly.
