Volta (2003)

About this game

Volta is played on a round wooden board. Each player has a square wooden playing piece with a marble on top and tries to push the other player off the board without their own marble rolling off. Since it is possible to push their own marble over the edge in one's first move (and therefore lose), the game takes anything from one second to maybe a minute.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• 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 6 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
