Description

Get ready to dive into the world of Lotus, a classic abstract strategy game that's all about speed and clever maneuvering. Designed by Dominique Tellier and first published in 1998, this game has been thrilling players for decades with its unique blend of racing and strategic thinking. In Lotus, 2 to 4 players compete to be the first to move all of their pieces from the start area to the finish line, and the twist is that the number of spaces you can move is determined by how many other pieces you're stacked on. As you navigate the game track, you'll need to think carefully about when to make your moves and how to use the other players' pieces to your advantage. With two entrances to the track but only one route to the finish, things can get crowded quickly, and the "trampoline" space that lets you double your move distance can be a game-changer. The rules are easy to learn, but the gameplay is engaging and challenging, making Lotus a great choice for players of all ages and skill levels. With a playtime of just 20 minutes, you can fit in a game of Lotus anytime, and its compact size makes it perfect for taking on the go. Whether you're a seasoned gamer or just looking for a fun and exciting way to spend time with friends, Lotus is a great choice.
