Pool Position (1999)

About this game

The setting is pool side at a swanky hotel and players are trying to get their beach towels into the choice locations next to the pool. Players use equal sets of power cards to determine the number of placement points for each round. These movement points are then used to place their towels or dislodge others' towels. However activity in a particular row of towels attracts the attention of the cabana boys, who can eventually lock a row up permanently.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.7/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
