Description

In Ignis, fire and water clash in a battle for dominance, with players taking turns sliding neutral tiles into the playing area to push off their opponent's pieces. With easy-to-learn rules, this abstract strategy game is perfect for a quick 20-minute matchup between two players. The game starts with a fixed arrangement of fire and water tiles on a 6x6 grid, with air and earth tiles waiting to be brought into play. As players shove tiles around, they can eliminate entire rows in one go, changing the shape of the playing area and limiting their opponent's options. The goal is to be the last element standing, with the game ending as soon as either fire or water is completely removed from the board. With its simple yet strategic gameplay, Ignis is a fun and challenging game that's sure to ignite a spark of competition between players.
