Description

Get ready for a quick and intense duel with Point-Blank, a classic abstract strategy game from 1979. In this simple yet challenging game, two players face off on a 6x6 grid, taking turns placing plastic arrows to outmaneuver each other. The rules are easy to learn, and games are fast-paced, lasting only about 10 minutes. The goal is to be the last player able to move, which means blocking your opponent's path and trapping them. As you play, you'll need to think strategically about where to place your arrows, using them to build a network of routes and enclose areas to limit your opponent's options. With the ability to move straight, diagonally, or even off the edge of the grid, the possibilities are endless. The game requires a combination of short-term tactics and long-term planning, making it a fun and engaging challenge for players of all skill levels. With its unique blend of area majority, enclosure, and route building mechanics, Point-Blank is a great choice for anyone looking for a quick and exciting abstract strategy game.
