EVL (2021)

About this game

A brain bending battle of good vs. EVL. EVL is an abstract territory capture game played on an unusual board of heptagons (7-sided) and pentagons (5-sided), using a stacking and un-stacking mechanism. EVL forces are trying to invade you; deploy your forces and defend your territory! The first player to capture 10 pentagons wins the game.

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