Description

Contrées is a quick and strategic game for two players that's all about gaining control over a modular board of hexagonal territories. The rules are easy to learn, making it accessible to new players, but don't be fooled - the game requires careful planning and tactical thinking to outmaneuver your opponent. Each player places their pawns on the corners of the hexagons, trying to surround and capture their opponent's pieces, similar to the classic game of GO. As players compete to control the most territories, the game builds in intensity, with each move potentially turning the tide in your favor. With a playtime of just 15 minutes, Contrées is a great option for a fast and engaging game night experience. Published in 2014 and designed by Max Valembois, this abstract strategy game is perfect for fans of simple yet challenging gameplay, making it an excellent addition to any board game collection.
