QANGO (2016)

About this game

QANGO is an abstract two-player game that plays quickly and is explained even faster. Players place their discs on a square multicolored board and try to either get three of their discs in one group of the same color, four discs in a square, or five discs in a horizontal, vertical or diagonal row to immediately win the game. They place one disc at a time and aren't limited in how to place the disc after the first move. The game includes two boards, a beginner board with 6x6 squares and an advanced board with 7x7 squares.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 7 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
