Two by Two (2010)

About this game

The floodwaters are rising and the animals need to board the ark! In this deceptively simple game, players move their boats around a steadily deteriorating landscape, matching pairs in order to rescue stranded animals. Animals that are rare at the end of the game are worth more points than those that are common. Two by Two is #6 in the Valley Games Modern Line.

Does it fit your group?

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