Designed for 1 to 4 players, this game can be explained in no time, making it perfect for a rapid round or two. With a playtime of just 10 minutes, you can easily fit in a game or three during a short break. The gameplay involves grid movement on a square grid, which might sound straightforward, but trust us, it's anything but.

With its easy-to-learn rules and depth of strategy, Upthrust is a hidden gem that's sure to provide hours of entertainment, even if each individual game is over in a flash.
