Description
Ever tried to win a game before you’ve even finished your coffee? That’s the vibe you get with Flying Colors, the lightning‑fast abstract strategy showdown that drops you into a vivid grid where every move paints a little bit of victory. Designed by Ellis Hendriksen and Dennis Merkx back in 2019, this little gem is built for two or three players who love a quick brain‑tickling duel without the rule‑book nightmare. The mechanics are as simple as “cover the grid” but the tactics get delightfully deep—each turn you splash your color onto the board, trying to claim the most squares before your opponents can block you. Because the rules can be explained in a flash, you’re ready to dive in the moment the box opens, and the game finishes before anyone even notices the timer. What makes Flying Colors such a blast is the blend of pure abstraction and splashy visual flair. You’ll feel like a painter battling for canvas space, and with each round lasting only a few minutes, it’s perfect for a quick match between chores, a rainy‑day filler, or a fast‑paced tournament with friends. Grab a copy, pick a hue, and see who can dominate the grid before the colors run out.
