Partners (1998)

About this game

PARTNERS is a 4 player game played in teams of 2 where players will use cards to move their pawns around the board and into their finishing zones. With a card swap at the beginning of each round, partners will help each other better their hands and improve their position in the game. But beware, your opponent will be using a combination of eating, blocking, and swapping to sabotage your forward progress. The first partnership to get all of their team's pawns into their finishing zones first wins! Very similar to the game DOG, and can be described as a slightly simplified version of DOG.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.3/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
