Tubyrinth (2016)

About this game

Each player in Tubyrinth has a set of pipes — "tubes", one might say — and each round in the game each player has a playing board that shows an entry point and an exit point; the game includes 42 double-sided boards, each with a different design. Players race to use 5-7 of their pipes to create a path from entry to exit on their board. The first player to create such a path scores 5-7 points, while all the other players score 0-2 points (7 minus however many pieces the winning player used). After someone wins, each player takes a new board, and whoever first scores 25 points wins!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 6. It has a designed solo mode.
• 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.
