Zener (2018)

About this game

Zener is a 2-player tactical move game inspired by the "Zener cards" used in experiments of extrasensory perception (ESP). Each player has 5 pieces with the same symbols as the Zener cards and in your turn must move two different pieces, being a mandatory movement and another free. The next player, in his first move, must move the piece with the same symbol that his opponent moved last (this is the mandatory movement). By moving your piece to the same quadrant of your opponent's piece you will block it by limiting your opponent's options. Win the game who first cross the board with any piece or block all of your opponent's pieces.

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.
