Dead Stop! (1979)

About this game

Test your deductive powers! Both players have six pawns and each pawn has a hidden ring. Your task is to figure out what color ring is in each of your opponent's pawns. Try to get your pawns into high value rows while stopping your opponent dead in the lower rows. Add up your points (and subtract your minuses) - the player with the highest total wins! Includes 2 playing boards, 1 card tray with posts, 48 cards, colored rings, 12 pawns, and instructions printed on the inside of the box top.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.6/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
