Qawale releasing in February!

Qawale is the latest addition to Gigamic's abstract game line, joining other classic wooden strategy games like Quoridor and Quarto. Grab your favorite Player 2 and challenge them to this three-dimensional landscape where mancala meets four-in-a-row.

 

Don't get too focused on your own strategy, because your opponent can swoop in with a victory if you're not thinking three turns ahead. Simultaneously simple yet challenging, Qawale will keep you coming back again and again.

Simultaneously simple and tactical, Qawale is inspired piles of stones found along paths. Just as nature bends everything to its whims, prepare to be transported by the twists and turns of the abstract strategy in this incredible game.

 

Each player takes 8 stones in their color. The third color is neutral and is placed in the 4 corners of the board. On your turn, add a stone on top of any pile and move it. When moving a pile, you must leave a stone on each space you cross. The first player to get 4 of their stones in a row, looking at the board from above, wins the game.
