Description

In Mentis, you're on a mission to capture your opponent's king, but it's not as simple as it sounds. Each player's king is stuck on their hill on the side of the 7x7 board, so you'll need to send out your forces of Spears, Trenchmen, and Nobles to do the dirty work. With easy-to-learn rules, you can dive right into the action, deploying, moving, or capturing pieces on each turn. You can place new pieces on the board, move your existing ones around, or use them to capture your opponent's pieces, all while navigating the grid and outsmarting your opponent. The game is all about strategic movement and clever captures, with a hint of rock-paper-scissors style gameplay. As you battle it out across the board, you'll need to think carefully about which pieces to deploy, where to move them, and when to strike. With a playtime of just 20 minutes, Mentis is the perfect game for a quick showdown with a friend. Designed by Richard Wilkins and first published in 2010, Mentis has become a classic abstract strategy game, and its simple yet engaging gameplay has made it a favorite among fans of the genre. Whether you're a seasoned gamer or just looking for a fun and challenging experience, Mentis is definitely worth checking out.
