Knots (1991)

About this game

Knots is an easy-to-learn path-building game. The object is to create a continuous rope from one side of the playing board to the other, while trying to prevent your opponent from completing his own rope connecting the other two sides. The catch is, many of the ropes splice together, allowing both players to build onto the same rope-path!

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 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
