Karo (2005)

About this game

Karo contains 24 black wooden tiles and 16 player pieces with unique markings on each side (8 red - 8 white). With these components you can play three different abstract games: VIER KREISE: A variant of "Four in Row". SCHLEICHER & HÜPFER: A race game. NIX WIE WEG: Try to move your pieces out of the playing field. More info: http://www.steffen-spiele.de/

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 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.
