Description

Leverage is a classic abstract strategy board game that's all about balance and force. Designed by Jack B. Slimp, Jr. and first published in 1977, it's a game that's easy to learn but challenging to master. With simple rules and game pieces, Leverage is a great game for two players to engage in a battle of wits, with each player trying to outmaneuver the other in a game of grid movement. As you play, you'll need to think strategically about how to use your pieces to tilt the board in your favor, while also trying to block your opponent's moves. The game is full of suspense, as the board can stabilize at any moment, and the winner is the one who can either tilt the board down towards their opponent when they have no scoring pegs left, or move all their pieces into the opposite Safety Zone while having more or an equal number of scoring pegs. With a playtime of just 30 minutes, Leverage is a quick and exciting game that's perfect for a fun and challenging competition.
