Urgency (2020)

About this game

Urgency is a 2-player strategic race game based on the oldest complete board game in the world. You build your strategy throughout the game in the form of rule-modifying rule cards. There are 4 distinct decks whose cards enable completely different strategies: Ibex adds agility, Bull adds attack, Lion provides control, and Tortoise provides defense. Unlock cards throughout the game in new combinations that make every game a completely unique experience. —description from the designer

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