Knight Moves (2005)

About this game

From the publisher's website: Two combatants must outsmart each other in their attempt to maneuver their sphere to the opposite side of the playing field. But to do so, each rival must first lay down a course of wooden blocks from which their sphere can be catapulted. Moving the blocks like Knights in the game of Chess, precise positioning is of the utmost importance in order for the sphere to capture the win. In this fast-paced game, suggestive of basketball meets Chess, two players try to move their marble to the opposite side of the board, using 5 wooden "blocks" as passing instruments. A player may either pass the ball or move a block like a Knight in a game of Chess. The ball may be passed in any direction, but the block with a ball may not be moved. It is competitive, it is strategic, and it is quick. So get ready to Razzle-Dazzle your opponent. Online Play Super Duper Games Gamerz (turn based)

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.8/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
