Description
Deflection is a lightning‑quick showdown for two players that feels like a mix of a brain‑teaser and a reflex challenge, all wrapped up in a tidy 20‑minute session. The rules are so simple you can explain them over a cup of coffee, then jump straight into the fun of slinging pieces, blocking shots, and trying to out‑maneuver your opponent on a sleek abstract board. Even though it dates back to 1981, the game still feels fresh, with just the right blend of strategy, dexterity and puzzle‑solving to keep both newbies and seasoned gamers hooked. Designed (uncredited) and refined by William B. Burke, Deflection rewards quick thinking and a steady hand, making every match a satisfying dance of angles and anticipation that’s easy to learn but hard to master.
