Description
Get ready for a thrilling game of strategy and luck with Stay Alive, a classic board game designed by Gordon A. Barlow. First published in 1965, this abstract strategy game is simple to learn but challenging to master. In Stay Alive, 2 to 4 players compete on a 7x7 board with movable slides, each with a unique arrangement of holes. The goal is to be the last player remaining, and to achieve this, you'll need to outmaneuver your opponents by changing the slide settings to trap their marbles. With a playtime of just 30 minutes, Stay Alive is the perfect game for a quick gaming session. The rules are easy to grasp, making it accessible to players of all ages and skill levels. As you deploy your marbles and adjust the slides, you'll need to think strategically to stay one step ahead of your opponents. Will you be the last player standing, or will you fall victim to the shifting board? There's only one way to find out - gather your friends and start playing Stay Alive.
