Description

Imwah is a clever abstract strategy game that brings together the best of trick-taking and grid movement to create a fun and tactical experience for two players. With simple rules that can be explained quickly, you'll be up and running in no time, navigating the 6x6 grid and outmaneuvering your opponent. The goal is straightforward: get two of your pawns to your opponent's base, and you'll be declared the winner. As you play, you'll need to think carefully about which cards to play from your hand of 11, featuring three suits and two special cards. The winner of each trick gets to move a pawn, but the suit and rank of the card you play will determine where you can move it, with movements similar to those of Chess pieces. With a playtime of just 20 minutes, Imwah is a great option for a quick but satisfying gaming session. Designed by Patrick Engro and released in 2024, this base game is perfect for fans of abstract strategy and trick-taking games looking for a new challenge. Whether you're playing to reach your opponent's base, capture their pawns, or accumulate points, Imwah offers a thrilling and strategic experience that will keep you coming back for more.
