Ten (2015)

About this game

The number 10 is the focus of the game. To score ten, each player has a beautiful set of wooden tiles scoring values from 1 to 3. The players take alternate turns to place their tiles in the game field. The rows become longer and grow in all directions. Who will be the first player to create a series of personal tiles to score a total of 10? TEN is a simple, but strategic connection game when players must constantly keep an eye on the opponent’s row of tiles. Seeing the bigger picture, risk-taking and a little luck are needed to score 10. There are two versions of the rules, so players can test their luck a little more or less.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
