Kanoodle Head-to-Head (2018)

About this game

Two-player, competitive version of the puzzle Kanoodle. A challenge card is played between the players, showing the set up for the present game. Each player sets up the game on their own personal board. When the game starts, players use the remaining game pieces to fill up the area on their board without leaving any open space. First player do so wins the round. The game ends after a prearranged number of rounds.

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 6 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
