SEVEN (2013)

About this game

SEVEN is a tile-stacking game that uses polyhexes of 4 hexagons, called tetrahexes. There are 7 different tetrahexes (hence the name of the game). Players alternate turns placing one of their tiles according to some simple rules, trying to get the most of their pieces on the topmost layers when the game ends. The rules also include a variant and some puzzles. SEVEN is the little brother of Pent-Up, Counterplays and Stack-22.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 6 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
