Pathagon
Spring 2012 GamesReview:
Pathagon is a two-player strategy game in which players attempt to complete a path of octagonal tiles from one side of the square board to the other. As the paths must cross at some point, only one can successfully reach completion. Players can trap an opponent's tile and have it removed from the board, and when players run out of tiles to place and tiles start getting rearranged play becomes especially challenging. It is easy to overlook potential traps, and enthusiasm for defensive play may leave open pathways unguarded. Even players as young as 6 can grasp the strategy and play competitively, so even wide age disparities can lead to fun and interesting match-ups.
