Twigs (2015)

About this game

Twigs is a tile-laying game that uses polytwigs of 5 segments called ‘pentatwigs’. There are 12 different pentatwigs (discarding symmetries). Players alternate turns placing one of their pentatwigs according to some simple rules, trying to enclose as many areas as possible. You can also play 3 or 4 players with the Twigs: 4 players expansion.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.2/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
