Description

In Hierarchy, a game of abstract strategy, players are on a mission to claim the seat of power. This quick 20-minute game for two players is all about outmaneuvering your opponent by playing cards in the right order. With a simple set of rules that can be explained in no time, you'll be diving into the action right away. Each player starts with a random set of 7 cards, and the goal is to play them openly, following the rule that cards must be played on top of a card of lesser value. As you play, you'll need to think strategically about which cards to play when, using hand management to your advantage. The game is over when one player can't play any more cards, and their opponent takes the win. Designed by Hugo Kawamata and released in 2020, Hierarchy is a print and play game that's easy to learn but challenging to master, making it a great addition to any game collection.
