Description

Sum On is a clever and strategic board game designed for two players, where you'll need to think carefully about each move to outmaneuver your opponent. The game is easy to learn, with simple rules that can be explained quickly, making it accessible to players of all skill levels. In Sum On, you'll use a square grid to move your pieces, numbered 1-8, orthogonally or diagonally forward, trying to create opportunities for bonus moves. These bonus moves are where the game gets really interesting, as you'll use the sum of the values of all pieces along a chosen axis to determine which piece you can move next. As you play, you'll need to balance short-term gains with long-term strategy, trying to get your pieces to the other side of the board while blocking your opponent's progress. The game ends when one player can't make their opening move, and the player with the highest sum of pieces that made it to the other side wins. With a playtime of just 20-40 minutes, Sum On is a great option for a quick but engaging gaming session. Designed by Markus Hagenauer and published in 2017, this abstract strategy game offers a fun and challenging experience that will keep you coming back for more.
