Description

9tka is a quick and strategic board game designed by Adam Kałuża, perfect for 2 to 4 players looking for a fun and challenging experience. With a playtime of just 10 minutes, it's easy to fit in a game or two, and the simple rules make it accessible to new players. The game takes place on a 9x9 square grid, divided into nine 3x3 sections, where players compete to gain the majority in each area. The game starts with players placing their tokens around the outside edge of the board, setting the stage for a battle of strategy and skill. As players take turns moving their tokens into the board, the game becomes a thrilling test of tactical thinking. Tokens can become blocked from entering the board or moving further, adding an element of unpredictability to the game. The player with the most tokens in each 3x3 region earns a point, and in case of a tie, the player who moved last wins. With its unique blend of area majority and grid movement mechanics, 9tka is an abstract strategy game that will keep you on your toes. First published in 2007, this base game has been entertaining players for years, and its short playtime makes it perfect for a quick gaming session with friends or family.
