September (1985)

About this game

An abstract path laying game in which players try to block each other's moves whilst making chains. The pieces are various lines and crosses and are made of a soft plastic that sticks to the game board. The game was apparently tested by the inventor as he traveled all day on a bus pass in September because his flat was freezing.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.5/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 4 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
