Sahara (2002)

About this game

Each player in turn moves one "pyramid" (tetrahedron, really, which is why you can move them in this fashion) by tipping it into a free adjacent space. When a pyramid enter a dark space, it can move again. A player who blocks an opposing pyramid wins the game.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.4/5 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.
