Abstract Strategy
Description
Columns is a simple yet strategic game for two players that's all about stacking and outmaneuvering your opponent. The goal is to cap the most columns on the board, and you'll do this by threading your pieces over the 12 available columns without leaving any gaps underneath. With two types of pieces at your disposal - roundels and blockers - you'll need to think carefully about your next move. As you take turns placing your pieces, you'll use roundels to score points by capping the columns, while blockers will help you reserve spaces for your roundels and prevent your opponent from getting in the way. With its easy-to-learn rules and quick 30-minute playtime, Columns is a great game for anyone looking for a fun and challenging abstract strategy experience. Designed by David Ward and first published in 2004, Columns is a classic game that's sure to provide hours of entertainment for players of all skill levels.
