Description

Quicksand is a fast-paced game for two players that's all about outmaneuvering your opponent. The goal is simple: get your pieces into your opponent's starting row first. But here's the twist - your pieces are sand timers, and their movement is controlled by a die roll. The die rolls can advance your timers, start new ones, or even send them back to the beginning if they run out of sand. With its simple rules and real-time gameplay, Quicksand is a thrilling abstract strategy game that's easy to learn but challenging to master. Designed by Jim Bousman and first published in 1981, this classic game is still a blast to play today. Each game takes just 20 minutes to play, making it perfect for a quick showdown with a friend. Will you be the first to get your timers across the board, or will your opponent outmaneuver you? There's only one way to find out - start playing Quicksand.
