Description

Novem is a game of abstract strategy that's all about outsmarting your opponent to score more points. Designed by Gil Druckman and published in 2008, this base game is specifically made for two players, making it a great option for some friendly competition. The rules are incredibly simple, which means you can dive right into the game without needing to spend a lot of time learning complicated mechanics. The game takes place on a board with nine numbered tiles, arranged in three rows and three columns, where one player controls the rows and the other controls the columns. The gameplay is where things get really interesting - players secretly choose a row and column, and the attacking player gets to take the tile at the intersection of the two. Then, the roles are reversed, and the other player becomes the attacker. The goal is to collect the tiles with the highest numbers to rack up the most points. With its simple yet brilliant design, Novem is a game that requires tactical thinking and a clear mind, rather than complex math skills. It's a game that will keep you on your toes, requiring you to think strategically and make quick decisions to outmaneuver your opponent.
