Pitch Out (2020)

About this game

Pitch Out (previously announced as Conflickt) is a disk-flicking game with tactical elements in which players try to take out or isolate the opponent's leader. The game is played with a bunch of disks (5-8 for the base sets) and five "walls". In turns, players place their pieces and two walls on their side of the field. Then, they start flicking one disk per turn, trying to push the opponent's disks out of the field. Each disk has a special power, for example the Assassin just needs to touch an opponent's piece to take it out, so players need to play tactically. The first player to take out the opponent's leader or all their other pieces wins the game.

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