Description
Kendo is a classic abstract strategy game that's all about getting your prince to the palace safely. Designed by Keith Budden and first published in 1976, this medieval-themed game is easy to learn and plays quickly, with games lasting around 30 minutes. Players take on the role of samurai, navigating a hex grid with their numbered pieces, each with its own movement restrictions. The goal is simple: get your prince to the center of the board and score bonus points. But it's not that easy - other players are trying to do the same, and you can strike their pieces off the board by landing on them. With its unique point-to-point movement mechanics and simple yet strategic gameplay, Kendo is a fun and challenging game for 2 to 4 players. Its popularity has endured for decades, and it remains a great option for fans of abstract strategy and medieval-themed games.
